Senator Blumenthal
http://twitter.com/#!/SenBlumenthalRep. Nadler - DOMA causes harm; children of LGBT couples deserve protections their parents would receive through marriage #repealDOMA
Ron Wallan testifies about unjust financial stresses caused by DOMA following the death of his husband.
Witness Andrew Sorbo of Berlin #CT lost his husband Colin of 30yrs to cancer. DOMA denied them financial secrty of marriage
DOMA took a toll on my & Colin’s sense of justice & fairness of our society & its treatment of our committed loving relationship #RepealDOMA
The toll was not exclusively financial. The emotional strain was often worse. #RepealDOMA
When Colin died, I was forced to forfeit 80% of our household income, because his VA pension check stopped coming #RepealDOMA
“Colin and I were fully aware that his death would jeopardize my financial security”
