According to your religion, do you think............?

as my Buddhist Philosophy teacher used to say, "Absol-freakin'-lutely!"

In fact, hospital visitation should be granted to anyone whom the hospitalized person wants to be visited by. In the case of a homosexual couple, this should be a no-brainer.

Well, the only time I've seen visitation be denied someone, it was a straight couple. Her boyfriend was denied visitation, but not by the hospital, by her parents. Never heard of a hospital denying visitation. That couple solved their dilemma by visiting a lawyer and having power of attorneys written up. Yeah, they could have gotten married easier, but they were stubborn. You and your partner can do the same(also do a will) or your parents(or sibling) will remain your next of kin and decide everything in case you are incapable of choosing yourself. I actually did this after my divorce, because my parents were divorced and would have never agreed on anything. I gave my best friend legal say in everything, including my children, just in case. It is a safety net, and I think it is important!

Gay and Lesbian is Abomination in religion it is against nature and Gods will. God created man and woman for a reason not man and man. Gay and lesbian will never be happy because it is against nature and there are so many things they will not be able to do that a man and woman can, no matter who hard they try !

Yes why should anyone be denied the right to visit...if it's what the patient wants. Barring of course indecent behavior or if the patient is contagious and might infect any that visit.

according to my religion (Christianity), it says nothing about not permitting hospital visitation rights.

according to my personal point of view, If people are legally a 'couple' (ie married, civil union), they should be allowed hospital visitation rights.

hahahaha Anakin...your answer was so funny.....I dont understand this question...does it say at the door of the hospital that if your gay/lesbian you're not allowed in there? Ive said it before and I'll say it again...."why do gays/lesbians feel that they have to SHOUT to the world their sexual preference?" I could care less who sleeps with who....but I LOVE YOUR ANSWER ANAKIN...THATS AN ORIGINAL...

I think that's a hospital policy... nothing to do with spirituality, does it?

But if you insist, then I see no problem with it. Just get your 'okay' from the head nurse. LOL.

I think gay rights groups should fire their public relations people and stop promoting the issue as "gay rights" and call it "cohabitational rights" that include anyone who cohabitates, regardless of marital status.

It is legitimate to provide benefits ("rights") to anyone who is in a co-dependent or cohabitational relationship, but narrowing the issue to "gay rights" is silly and is a loser, politically speaking.

im not a religious person,but a partner is a partner whether you are gay or straight,and should have the same rights as everyone

The words hospital gay and or lesbian don't appear in my or any other bible..so I don't guess it matters very much...go back try the part about love thy neighbor...
