"UPDATE: It appears that this story isn't true. Both the hospital and Bray are now saying that she's been allowed to visit her partner."
And the purpose of this is... what? To start some social discontent? Split us up over emotional issues unrelated to Objectivism?
Peh, I say. No, Mega-Peh.
(BTW - my gay cousin - dying of AIDS, I might add - was in a hospital run by a Catholic Religious Order - not only did he receive stellar and compassionate care, his other half was by his side 24/7 at the end. This was 20+ years ago... Just sayin'...)
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."

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.
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...)
