I completely agree that gay couples should be afforded the same rights granted to straight couples. The only question I have from that article is the part where they said the hospital didn't want anyone in the room. If the rest of the family was also being kept out, then Gorley was in the wrong regardless of being the partner. If other members of the family were in the room, then Gorley was right to do what he did.
I wondered what part of that sentence Howey Hemorrhoid didn't understand....
If you read the updates, they wanted the brother and Gorley to leave the room because they were in there arguing. So the question remains... why did Gorley get arrested and not the brother.
Maybe he was the source of the disturbance/argument ?... we don't know every detail....

Probably because the sibling wasn't being a flamer.Another thing to sue the hospital over! They directed the police to remove the partner and not the sibling.
for the same reason that unmarried heterosexual couples are required to do so.....because the law does not create a presumptive right among unmarried persons.....as a lawyer you should have known that one already.....

You think the hospital has rules against flamers?
refusing Americans protects you give other Americans is WRONG
The problem is, straight couples have the option, but gay couples do not.
If say...you were unmarried and your girlfriend got sick...and you wanted to visit her at the hospital...
How would you feel if you were arrested for caring about your partner?
THIS is why we need gay marriage.
More information has come out. The patient's brother was there trying to exclude the partner who has the power of attorney.
This was outright discrimination.

I told this part of the story to get to my point. Homosexuals work, pay taxes, and live normal everyday lives. If they are paying into the system like everyone else, they should have the same rights and benefits as everyone else.
Not everyone else gets the benefits of marriage. What justifies the special treatment for homosexuals?
