self a gay conservative, when conservatives, as one of their primary platforms, believes that a legitimate marriage is only between a man and a woman, and nothing else. Second of all, conservatives definitely don't value or respect gay values, won't allow gay marriage, thus, gays can't leave assets to other gays, can't adopt, etc.
I hope that in Texas, if either you or your partner passes due to the CV, that the state of TX will allow you to collect the life insurance proceeds, and other assets that each of you have, to accrue to your former partner. In some states, despite your long term relationships, total strangers (usually undesired family members) can come in and claim assets as their own, leaving your former partner in the lurch.
A gay conservative? Yeah, right. There is no such thing. Enough on the above.
I do have some sorrow for the pain you inflicted on others in your circle of family and friends, but they too, could have stayed home and not gone to the party, but no, they went to your party. Shared guilt, shared illnesses, shared deaths.
Shame on you and the other party attendees, all of you knew better but still mocked and ignored the pleas not to do such things. Would you walk in front of a speeding car to get to the other side of the road? I hope each one of you and your fellow party goers remind yourselves of this everyday for the rest of your lives. Unfortunately, perhaps, some that went to your party won't be able to say one damn thing about it, they're dead.
