LOS ANGELES – A YouTube video by a young gay man whose partner died in a tragic fall, which painfully illustrates the second-class citizenship of LGBT couples who cannot legally marry, has gone viral on the Internet.
As of today, more than 640,000 people have viewed the video titled “It Could Happen To You,” resulting in almost 15,000 likes and 260 dislikes.
Shane Bitney Crone’s heart-wrenching story is told in a 10-minute video that outlines how unmarried gay couples are treated unfairly and unequally when one of the partners dies without an ironclad will.
