Nevada Hospital Denies Gay Couple Visitation As Partner Has Pregnancy Complications

http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/08/20/713251/nevada-same-sex-couple-denied-hospital-visitation-despite-domestic-partnership/

This is one of the many reasons why gay marriage needs to be established.

These poor women were already going through hell and the hospital only made the situation worse. Their domestic partnership did nothing to protect them, as a marriage would have so easily done.

 

there seems to be information missing


I can go visit my buddy in the hospital as much as I want. This story is spun in a way to get the reaction such as yours

No sir, much is missing

 

Don't you understand these perverted queers don't deserve the same rights as the rest of us? We are superior and we aim to keep it that way.

 

Anti marriage equality folks always say "I like gays, and have nothing against them, it's only the marriage thing".

But outlawing gay marriage is really just a way to desentitize the public about the oppression of gays. It's starts out semi benign, then you get the creep, and before you know it....these Christian Tea Partiers will be running them out to gay freindly states.

 

OMG! In Harry Reids home state? Why didn't he intervene?

BTW, was the partner the natural father of the baby? Even a husband would have limited rights concerning a baby born by his wife from another man.

 

I think these gay haters need their own country....I think we should give them MS, AL, TN, and AR.

Have you noticed the states that hate gays the most, are the ones that hated the Union in 1861.

 

Harry Reid should be held accountable.

 

No, the husband would have power of attorney and would be able to have visitation with his wife.

 

This is just one of the 1400 rights that come with marriage.

Instead of acknowledging these rights, the retarded myth-fearing right will simply ignore them and pretend they do not exist.

 

full disclosure about this incident would be helpful and not a biased story

I reiterate, I can visit my buddy in the hospital as much as I want

 

POA is a simple form, available cheap at legalzoom.com then signed in front of a notary. This is therefore a totally made-up problem, like so many other retarded liberal causes.

 

I rest my case on how retarded and uniformed the right is.

You do not have the right to make medical decisions for your buddy when he is unable to speak for himself. Only immediate family can, and the spouse (marriage) is considered first for immediate family.

 

If they had legal marriage as a couple they wouldn't need to make any other contract. They already had a domenstic partnership which was supposed to provide them with ALL of the same rights as marriage.

 

So is marriage.

More retardation and bigotry from the right.

It is any surprise?

 

Apparently their domestic partnership agreement is not up to snuff, so they screwed that up and will have to correct it with a $50 POA. Again, this is a non-issue for anyone who accepts personal responsibility for their past decisions.

 

Why should they even have to get a 'domestic partnership agreement' to begin with?

 

Personal responsibility...for the people who are denying them their rights?

The fact remains that the situation never should have happened. Had this couple had equal rights in marriage this would never have happened.

That is the problem and the issue. Treating another human being as a lesser has no place in this country.

 

In bold - What the right simply refuses to acknowledge.

 

Your argument is based on a false premise, that everyone has a "right" to redefine marriage in a way that the state has not sanctioned.

This is a simple, routine legal matter that this couple simply needs to deal with in the routine way. Again, it's a non-issue.

 

You did read that this was NEVADA, right? Jesus...

 

You're attempting to demonize your opposition, and the only reason why you'd do that is that you understand that your position is logically untenable. I won't be responding to you until you find another tactic that is less childish.

 

And your argument is based on the false premise that states rights over rule the US constitution.

 

Like they did when the ban on inter-racial marriage was ruled unconstitutional?

Which, incidentally, established marriage as a constitutional right.

It is indeed an issues. They need not establish other contracts, which are covered by marriage, at further expense to themselves.

Separate but equal is inherently unequal.

 

Actually it is blacks that hate gays the most apparently. Otherwise you Californians would be enjoying legal gay marriage today.

 

Cant debate so you resort to ad homs. Your dodge is noted.
