Equality in the Hospital!!!
Is it right for gays to not to be able to make a decision for his or her loved one when he or she is faced with death? Many people may argue yes, but i believe gays should have the right for that. Obama is trying to make that happen, but is it going to be enforced enough so that justice can be served to the homosexuals. One-fourth of hospitals don't have policies that protect patients from discrimination based on sexual orientation. That's a lot of hospitals that don't have policies on that considering that there are lots of homosexuals in the United States.In Bakersfield, Calif., for instance, in a state where domestic partnership is recognized, only the biological mother was allowed to stay at the bedside of a child running a high fever. Her partner the child’s adoptive mother was told to stay in the waiting room, even as fathers and mothers were allowed to visit their children together.In many cases, same sex partners will not be informed of doctors of his or her partners condition. In many other cases, if it was a man and woman relationship there would be no problems concerning the information given to the partner.The concern to most homosexuals is being denied to visit a partner that his sick and being informed of information about his or her partners condition. This may seem as a little problem, but this problem is arising all over the United States. It really needs more attention brought to hospitals about their policies among these same sex marriages because no matter what's a person sexual orientation is, he or she should still have rights to support a sick loved one in a hospital regardless and it is strange that a nurse can even deny the person of visiting his or her loved one. Where's the sympathy?
