Why should a hospital have the right to say who can visit you.

I don't understand why hospitals have the right to do this.

Why is it there decision on who visits regardless. Their not the police.

Okay all you homos fess up if, you have been denied visitation to someone in the hospital, when that person is allowed visitors?


Personally I think it's a ubiquitous but bogus urban myth.

I think, as a group, gays and lesbians made too much noise, hence the restrictions.

Yeah, I'm betting that it was actually something like the hospital had a policy of maybe only one or two visitors at a time and the mom & dad never left. Since the homosexual was not related to the other one, the mom & dad (or brother or sister) didnt have to leave and the hosptial couldnt ask them to leave so that the lesbian could visit.

How did they even know for sure that the lesbo lover was a lesbo. Unless they started doing something in the hosptial beds, I cant see that the staff would just say "Hey...you look like a lesbian...you cant come in"
