The Oscar goes to...

An important short documentary won an Oscar last night. The title is Freeheld and tells the story of a lesbian couple Laurel and Stacie of Orange County, NJ. Laurel worked as a prosecutor's investigator but dying of lung cancer. The county refused to give her partner the survivor's pension normally due to a spouse. This battle is the subject of the movie. Of course, the Right is going bonkers over the win.
