Racine, Wisconsin) Marilyn Riedel served her country and her president with distinction as an Army Captain in charge of the communications center for the presidential retreat at Camp David.

Now 61, a vet, and severely disabled with Parkinson's disease, she depends on her domestic partner for everything.

She needs a home that can accommodate her special needs. But, her army pension doesn't go far. Together, Riedel and her partner of eight years Connie Guardino, 58, would be able to carry a small mortgage and Riedel applied for a low-interest VA home loan. The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs rejected her because the state won't allow anyone but a spouse to be a co-applicant.

If you ever need to explain why we need Gay Marriage please use this as a talking point. It will help your argument.
