Obama: gay partners should have hospital access

????...it is.....a gay person can file a patient's advocacy document naming their same sex partner.....I have quite a few gay clients since I was previously a business partner with a gay couple for a number of years, and I have prepared several such documents for clients.....if a straight person living unmarried with someone of the opposite sex does not plan ahead and prepare such a document the statutory fall back is that next of kin serves as the advocate....that means parent or sibling....if they don't get along with the girlfriend she's as much out of luck as the gay partner......

Except the straight couple has the option of marriage.

The queers can marry as well, just not to someone of the same sex.

They cannot marry the person they love. That has been prevented by people who seek to impose their religious beliefs on society in an unconstitutional manner, or who want to legislate what happens in other people's bedrooms.

As long as the gov't bestows certain rights on one segment of the population and denies them to another, we have inequality. And it is an inequality that will be remedied in our lifetimes.

Hey Tom. Is that the closet door behind you?

They can have a civil union. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

And you have arged against allowing them civil unions which get them the same rights as married straight couples.

Have you changed your mind?


And what of straight couples who are joined in nonreligious ceremonies? Should they have civil unions or marriages?

So you still maintain that gays with civil unions should not have the same benefits as straights who marry?

And what of straight couples who are joined in nonreligious ceremonies? Should they have civil unions or marriages?

good question
 
I think non-religious couples should be allowed to do what they've been doing for centuries. It seems to be working out well for them and their children.

why should non religious people have a religious title, marriage? this puts a huge hole in your belief that homosexuals should also not enjoy this title, as you admit the title is not religious only

Argumentum ad antiquitatem

SM, if you are going to disallow other people's responses because of logical fallacies, you really shouldn't use them yourself.

Also, there is no evidence that allowing gay marriages would have an adverse effect on either them or their children.
