Social Security survivor benefits?

You gotta' be nuts ~ their average lifespan is only 42 years. It's a rare gay who lives long enough to get his own Social Security to say nothing of having a "partner" to qualify as a survivor.

First, we don't really have any idea how long the average gay lifespan is, for methodological reasons we could get into if you want. Second, it would seem that those are in stable relationships would be the most likely to attain retirement age.
