This week was good for us!!
The New York Times opines: President Obama’s order that all hospitals receiving federal funds from programs like Medicare or Medicaid must give full visiting rights to patients’ same-sex partners. Too many hospitals currently require ties by blood or marriage, thereby keeping partners from the bedside of ailing patients.
We were also encouraged by word from the House Democratic leadership that it intends to move forward on long-awaited legislation banning employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. And this time the measure has been broadened to include transgender people.
As always, feel free to comment.
