Rhode Island Governor Don Carcieri has vetoed a measure that would allow gay couple to plan funerals for their partners. 

My advice is make sure you don't die in Rhode Island!  You may end up without a funeral.

This seems really dumb!  Why shouldn't anyone who wants to put someone to rest be able to do so whether you're gay or not?!

Thanks Governor Carcieri for making us feel like second class citizens again.  His opponent, Attorney General and Democratic Governor hopeful Patrick Lynch, has criticized the government.
