I’m so glad you brought up the case of Dennis Englehard, the gay highway patrolman who was killed and none of whose benefits went to his partner, Kelly Glossip. It is outrageous and another example of the discrimination against gay couples. I’ve tried to get the word out about this as well and have contributed to the fund for Glossip and his son.
