I feel bad for his loss, but his story doesn't really have a whole lot to do with gay marriage laws. All of the problems he described could have been solved by just having a will, which is already legal. And the parents of his dead lover would still be the assholes they are even if he was married.
Also i really didn't like how it seemed like he was trying to hide the fact that his lover committed suicide. The way he just said "this is where he fell off the building" felt like he wasn't telling the whole story.
not my cup of tea this. i definitely support marriage equality though.

Are you seriously crtisizing production of the editing on such a sad story? This isnt about how the video was produced its about the fact he lost his long term partner.
This is about human rights and us gay men deserve exactly the same rights as anyone else, He lived with his partner for 6 years, shared a mortgage and shared a business. They were best friends and in love and he was denied to say goodbye or even find out exactly what happened from the hospital.
If this was a straight couple who had been together for over half a decade then im sure the partner would be allowed to visit the body or get some closure on what happened after such a tragedy.
You cannot assume he commited suicide either, have you ever heard of accidental death?
I would be devistated if this happened to me but no redneck family threatening me with physical violence would not keep me away from the funeral.
**** the legal system, this should be about equality, compassion and respect for anyone grieving the loss of someone they were in love with.
Its like they totally pretended he never existed and was left totally alone with no closure on his relationship.
