NY judge: Same-sex spouse gets husband’s estate

From the Associated Press:

A judge has issued New York state’s first ruling that the survivor of a legal same-sex marriage is entitled to inherit a dead spouse’s estate.

Manhattan Surrogate Court Judge Kristin Booth Glen ruled that J. Craig Leiby was “the surviving spouse” and sole heir of H. Kenneth Ranftle.

I had heard that New York was going to recognize foreign same sex marriages – I don’t understand how/why they would do that but would not allow same sex marriages in their state.  Oh well….the times they are a’ changin’ and changing for the better (but then, I guess THAT depends on who you ask – LOL) 

Oh no, I like gay people I have a few friends are gay and my mom LOVES to watch ‘Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’!  I’ll never forget that one as long as I live….
