“We have said publicly before God, our family and our friends that we love each other and are committed to one another and our children. At this moment, I want to spend time loving my children and my wife while knowing that should I die, they will be cared for. By not recognizing my family, Nebraska is making a difficult situation much more difficult emotionally and financially.” – Sally Waters, ACLU of Nebraska Client

Sally and her wife Susan are facing stage four breast cancer knowing that when Sally passes away, Susan will have to pay an 18% inheritance tax on their home while holding a death certificate saying her wife of nearly two decades is single. Along with six other same-sex couples, they have sued the state of Nebraska to have their relationships recognized. They represent thousands of same-sex couples who could benefit from the ACLU’s work as well as many more Nebraskans who choose to leave our state rather than live where their family won’t be recognized.
