Every day that we work, we’re paying into a Social Security system that discriminates…a system that harms LGBT seniors when they’re the most vulnerable—after the loss of a partner.
In recent remarks, President Obama said: "...the notion that someone who’s working really hard for 30 years can’t take their death benefits and transfer them to the person they love the most in the world, and who has supported them all their lives, that just doesn’t seem fair, it doesn’t seem right…"
The time to act is now! As Congress debates the budget, Social Security eligibility and benefits are being looked at anew.
LGBT Americans will only gain EQUAL BENEFITS if we take action, raise money and raise hell!
Sign our Declaration to Change the Law today!
