The local coroner wouldn't release the dead body of lesbian activist Christina Santiago— killed during the Indiana disaster—to her surviving partner, citing DOMA.

Unreal.

I sincerely hope this indignity is revisited upon that coroner and anyone who supports this action—tenfold.

P.S. The story is now updated to say that her aunt was allowed to claim her body, and the coroner is calling it a "misunderstanding."
