Warning! Somehow this will lead to sexual perversion and pedophilia!

In another victory for proponents of gay/lesbian rights in the United States, Obama has ordered the HHS to mandate hospitals that receive federal funds to allow same-sex couples the same hospital visitation rights allowed to heterosexual couples. The only thing I can ask is, why is this only happening now? I can understand why some people may feel gay marriage, adoption and civil unions are immoral; but why should a move like this even be controversial? This is a decision that affects only the patient and his/her partner in the strictest sense. If your partner is sick in the hospital, what moral concern is it of some right winger that you go and visit them. The GOP talk on and on about patients' rights in healthcare reform, why not start by embracing this.

  1. This would be a slippery slope. If homosexuals were allowed to visit each other in the hospital, next thing you know they'd start marrying each other. And next, bestiality would be legal, and people would start marrying their dogs, cats and farm animals.

    And if things really got out of hand, priests might start doing perverted things with little boys. Well, OK, that last part was a little far-fetched...
