"Therefore, as a black lesbian, I can expect to earn less and may never own my own home."

My greataunt, who died a few years ago at 85, was a black lesbian. She and her partner had been together 50 years. While my other 'aunt' couldn't collect the social security, there was insurance and there was a life estate in the house my aunt owned. She has her own retirement and is doing fine.

These are women who came up when it was hard for blacks to have anything, and somehow, they both had jobs, cars, a house, a nice retirement, and health care. All without special lezbo rights.

No one is stopping anyone from buying insurance or a house. Jeez, we've got programs for illegals to buy houses, surely an American can find a way to purchase a home, sexual orientation and race notwithstanding.

Lesbians, like other unmarried people, can find many ways within the law to take care of each other financially. Statements to the contrary are promotions of another agenda.

My point exactly. As I said, why is this our problem? It's not.
