Well actually, it appears as though the hospital is denying that the story is true, but the lesbian woman in question is not.

From today's article on the story:

---

"The patient’s significant other, Sarah Bray, 34, told The Star on Wednesday that she had been unable to visit her partner, after she said her partner’s mother banned her from the hospital room.

But Joe Stuteville, a St. Francis spokesman, said there was a mutual agreement between Bray and the patient’s family that Bray could visit. He said he could not, however, disclose that publicly on Wednesday because the hospital needed the approval of the family before it would release any such information.

“We’ve known it from the beginning” that Bray could visit the patient, Stuteville said. “But you need the patient’s family’s consent to discuss anything.”

Bray, however, told The Star on Thursday evening that there was no such mutual agreement between her and the patient’s family. She said the hospital’s director called her late Wednesday night and said Bray could see her partner for several minutes — and that the visit, around 10 p.m., was only allowed because her partner’s mother changed her mind.

“If they want to call that a mutual agreement,” Bray said, “then that’s a joke.”

Stuteville would not discuss whether any such call took place, saying he could not elaborate beyond the statement other than to emphasize that Bray was never denied visitation based on her sexual orientation. He also would not comment on whether Bray had been denied visitation for some other reason or whether there might have been a misunderstanding about her visitation rights.

Bray, when told that the hospital said she had been able to visit the room since her partner’s arrival, replied, “That is not true.” She did, however, acknowledge that the hospital called twice Thursday with updates on her partner’s condition."

I know, when my mother was comatose, dying at St Anthony's, they wouldn't let me bring her Chihuahua into the ICU, can you believe that? She'd never in her life been apart from my my mother, and I had to leave her with a sister I hadn't seen in a decade to say my goodbyes; she never got to say goodbye.

Here's an idea; don't take your friend to a Catholic hospital when she gets sick.

Here's another idea; move to Iowa.
(I forgot what shitheads Iowans were, thanks for reminding me...)

They weren't a "couple"; they lacked the full compliment of reproductive organs necessary. If you insist on referring to them by association, it would be as accurate to describe them as "playmates".

Uhm... while the 1st Amendment doesn't protect the right to bump uglies with whatever gets you off, it does protect the right of practicing religion. This is a Catholic hospital.

Oh, and if her playmate were male... the mother could STILL ban him from her bedside. Cause they're not married. So they're not related.

This is just another straw-man article to promote Maph's agenda of forcing people to accept the mental illness of homosexuality as healthy.
