Husband
This is not new but it is the first time I have seen it done.
An obituary in which the husband of the dead man is listed as the survivor.
Daniel Levins, Dancer in Classical Ballet and Films, Dies at 61
It is a sad time for his friends and family but the fact that he is remembered as a gay man with a husband is very important. I am in the same situation and don't much give a shit about my obituary as I will not see it. But my husband's will list me as his husband.
(Note to family here).
Gay marriage, like all marriages, has two sides. The beginning and end.
Of course, we now qualify for divorce but that is another subject and, as far as I can see, rarely the end. Divorces drag and become weights on all the necks involved.
The phrase is "until death do us part".
I said it when we got married after waiting so long and I want it all.
Our sympathy to Daniel Levin's husband as well as his family.
