Take 3 steps to protect your assets if you're LGBTQ, say experts: This is 'our first recommendation

3. An ex girlfriend of mine married her wife in the early 'eighties.

Officially gay marriage was a long ways in the future. There was no marriage certificate but she had money and bad-ass lawyers who crafted something much the equivalent.

Their asshole fascist Christian fathers never accepted their relationship but by the the time of their wedding their fathers were dead. One of them was such an asshole I don't think anyone mourned his death but the church he tithed, and it's possible they hated him too and were only mourning the loss of his money.

Moms came around to acceptance, albeit reluctantly, once there were grandchildren. Some siblings didn't.

It's so damned sad that members of the LGBTQ community still have to deal with this shit.

Most LGBTQ people don't have access to bad-ass lawyers, especially those who are not wealthy living in those regions of the U.S.A. where they need such lawyers the most.
