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.

This isnt quite true. If the family disagree...and you arent married...you can even be stopped from seeing them while still alive in hospital in hospital, nevermind the body.
I only know this because of a quite recent thing that happened with people I know. This woman I know (I refuse to call her a friend but I speak to her) has been seeing this man for 8 years or so, he recenly was taken into hospital and the family were told he only had hours left, so she went to see him, and the family refused to let her in the room. Apparently (and this came from my father in law who drove her there, not from her) he was getting really distressed when he saw her being stopped at the door and it was obvious that he WANTED her there, but the family still refused :S
Basically the family went against his wishes just to be spiteful because they didnt like the woman...even though he very obviously did.
Was the only time in my life I have ever felt sorry for her.
On topic though, I havent watched the video yet as I have no headphones and gavs watching something but I will watch it later.
