^My bad, I jumped to conclusions and made assumptions. Do you guys live in Canada or the UK? Maybe that would explain things.

"you just summed up every post Optimum makes. "Waaahhh, waaaah, waaaah, I'm gay and we have it sooooo tough." He managed to come into a thread where everyone was in agreement with what happened and singlehandedly act like everyone in here doesn't understand how serious this issue is because they're not as flaming as he is. You can't help but want to troll the poor schmuck for it. The shit that comes out of his mouth in retaliation is hilarious."

Keep going.

^^ I've already said that I regret that it came across sounding preachy. I'm not going to apologize again.

While these rules don't apply to all hospitals (more reason to repeal DOMA) & doesn't cover all situations, say, if a spouse was unconscious when taken to the hospital & didn't designate someone in advance (more reason to repeal DOMA), its nice that its finally about to go into effect.

The new rules, which allow anyone, not just gay couples, to designate non-family members as their allowed visitor, were just officially published. So this long awaited measure will kick-in 60 days from this publication of the new rules (early 2011).

(as a side note, one of the 3 main anti-DOMA court cases going right now,the prop 8 case in Cali, gets underway in 2 & a half weeks, & it was just announced that it'll be televised on that most exciting of networks, c-span)

It's spelled "and." You're typing a sentence, for shit's sake, not selling jewelry at a pawn shop in New Jersey.
