Hospitals must respect gay rights
 

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- New federal regulations allow patients at most hospitals in the United States to designate those they want to visit them and to make medical decisions.

The rules that took effect Tuesday were designed to protect gay couples, ABC News reports. But officials in the Obama administration say they will also help others in unconventional situations, from the elderly widowed to members of religious orders.

ABC said President Obama was inspired by the story of Janice Langbehn, whose partner, Lisa Pond, was hospitalized at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami in 2007. Langbehn says she was barred from Pond's bedside when she died of an aneurysm even though the couple had been together for 18 years and had three adopted children.

"Other couples, no matter how they define themselves as families, won't have to go through what we went through, and I am grateful," Langbehn said. "But the fact that the hospital didn't let our children say goodbye to their mom -- that's just something that will haunt me forever."

The federal regulations apply to all hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding.

Miami couple who successfully fought Florida's gay adoption ban officially adopts 2 brothers
By The AP (CP) / Jan 19, 2011
 

MIAMI --- A homosexual Miami couple has officially adopted two brothers after they successfully fought to overturn Florida's three-decade-old ban on gay adoptions.

Martin Gill and his partner were the boys' foster parents for six years before the adoption was finalized Wednesday.

Gill and the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the state, calling the ban unconstitutional. The 3rd District Court of Appeal agreed in a ruling last year. The state decided not to appeal.

Gill says he is thrilled they are "officially a family in the eyes of the law."

The prohibition was enacted in 1977 and court records indicate it's the only law of its kind in the United States.

The Department of Children and Families changed its forms so adoptive parents aren't asked if they're homosexuals.
