Here' a story I bet the rightwingers will find funny
#21
'Interesting that people are ready to assume the worst of the gay partner when there's not a single lick of evidence to suggest anything other than good faith on her part.

> Does it say she was POA for health care?

FYI:
http://miamiherald.typepad.com/gaysouthf...pital.html

Janice was informed that she was in an antigay city and state, and she could expect to receive no information or acknowledgment as family. A doctor finally spoke with Janice telling her that there was no chance of recovery. Other than one five minute visit, which was orchestrated by a Catholic priest at Janice's request to perform last rites, and despite the doctor's acknowledgement that no medical reason existed to prevent visitation, neither Janice – who provided the hospital with a medical Power of Attorney -- nor their children were allowed to see Lisa until nearly eight hours after their arrival. Soon after Lisa's death, Janice tried to get her death certificate in order to get Life Insurance and Social Security benefits for their children. She was denied both by the State of Florida and the Dade County Medical Examiner.
