Bill seeks to end Social Security discrimination against same-sex couples


Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., has introduced legislation that would grant same-sex couples the same Social Security benefits now available to opposite-sex couples. A rally in support of the measure at the U.S. Capitol last week drew support from celebrities, including actor GeorgeTakei, who played “Mr. Sulu” in the original “Star Trek” television series and Hal Sparks, who played Michael on 'Queer As Folk'.

It's enough to make me do George Takei's Happy Dance!
