Madelynn Taylor, 74, served six years in the United States Navy. When she passes away, she says, she wants to be buried with the ashes of her late wife, Jean Mixner, in the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery.

But there's a problem. Because gay marriage isn't recognized in Idaho, Taylor's wish has been denied, even though the cemetery allows opposite-sex spouses to be buried or interred with veterans, KBOI.com reports.

"I'm not surprised," Taylor said to KBOI.com. "I've been discriminated against for 70 years, and they might as well discriminate against me in death as well as life.

Grandpa told this decades ago.

Two gay guys go to a funeral home. They tell the funeral director “when we die, we want to be buried in the same coffin.” The director said “I’m sorry but I can’t do it State and federal regulations prohibit that.” One of the queers asked “well then can we be buried in coffins touching each other.” They were again told no, caskets have to be buried at least two feet apart by law. The second gay guy asked “then can we at least be cremated and have our ashes put in the same urn.” The director said “yes, but in your case I’d use a fruit jar.”

This thread just lost all dignity. Not that the story had any to start with.

If a nauseating disgrace like that ever occurs near me and I catch wind of it...I’ll *personally* dig that motherbleeper up and transport it to the nearest dump.
