UCLA gets millions to study gay couples
A gay couple who hope to marry one day has donated more than $1 million to the University of California, Los Angeles, to fund research on legal topics involving same-sex relationships.
It's the year of the gay, and everyone wants to be a part of it!
John McDonald and Rob Wright say they want to promote objective research, but they also hope to aid the campaign for gay marriage and other gay rights issues.
"This is going to support legal scholarship, legal research and education that covers a whole area so fundamental to creating change," said McDonald, 74, a former chief executive of a medical and hospital management firm.
The GaySocialites say... you go gays!

UCLA... my dad's partner was part of a test study there for HIV... they gave him certain test meds... kept him from AIDS from 1984 until his death of sepsis in 2003... He came out but dad preferred his privacy. Dad died of a heart attack in 2004. They loved LA. Good people. I was honored to attend their first anniversary party in 1971. I, a straight female. Dad was against marriage; that was something straights did. His partner wanted marriage. My kids had two wonderful grand-dads. Pray for them to have peace in their next lives.
