Although his proposal attracts widespread media attention – and support from activists, including Jim Kepner (1923 – 15 November 1997) and Don Kilhefner (born March 3, 1938) – few gay men and lesbians are willing to make the move. The plan never happens.

Later, the speech appeared in The Cancer Journals, a book where Lorde details her experience with breast cancer and her mastectomy.

1988 – A district court judge ruled that Karen Thompson must be allowed to visit her lover, Sharon Kowalski, a quadriplegic. He also ruled that Kowalski’s father would remain her guardian. Kowalski had been seriously injured in an accident, and her father refused to allow Thompson to visit her. Karen fought and won the right to be Sharon’[s legal guardian. In re Guardianship of Kowalski, 478 N.W.2d 790 (Minn. Ct. App. 1991) is the Minnesota Court of Appeals case that established a lesbian‘s partner as her legal guardian after Sharon Kowalski became incapacitated following an automobile accident. Because the case was contested by Kowalski’s parents and family and initially resulted in the partner being excluded for several years from visiting Kowalski, the gay community celebrated the final resolution in favor of the partner as a victory for gay rights.
