Sally Kohn at TIME, writing about the female domestic partner of Sally Ride, physicist and first American woman in space: "Under federal law, Ride's domestic partner of 27 years will not receive death benefits or Social Security payments.

Astronaut Sally Ride's partner won't receive government death benefits. Thanks, homophobes.
