There has been a change in the Laurel Hester affair. Seems the Republican dominated Board of Freeholders of Ocean County have bowed to public pressure. According to this story, there will be a vote this week by the Board which will allow Ms. Hester to pass along her pension benefits to her "domestic companion". This will allow said companion to keep the couple's home. Again and again we have to remind the cretins that the debate is not about the morality of same-sex "marriages", it is about equality for all citizens. I am glad Ms. Hester can now die with the knowledge that the person she loves will be provided for after she is gone. However, this still does not relieve Ocean County from the duty to remove, en masse, the current Board of Freeholders.
