The 83-year-old widow's case may be the best chance to overturn the law

You might have first learned of Edie Windsor, 83, in the documentary, Edie &
Thea: A Very Long Engagement. Or perhaps you remember Edie from the Out
story in 2011. The love story explains how Edie met Thea Spyer in 1965, and
the couple finally married in Toronto in 2007. But after Thea's death in
2009, Windsor suffered a $350,000 penalty in federal e... 阅读全帖 |
