The issue of homosexuality is one that has bugged me for a while.
Shows like L word and Queer as Folk dont help the cause of homosexuals, imho, but the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy are so CUTE...anyway, I digress.
I was watching an episode of ER, one of THE baddest dramas on Tv ever.
A lesbian couple came in for medical attention. One lady had a stroke and it was so bad that she would have to be attached to a ventilator.
The lady's partner knows that she would not want to be hooked up to machines, but would prefer to die peacefully. But since the law does not recognise their relationship, the doctor therefore had to contact a next of kin to see if he would give a Do Not Resuscitate order or hook her up to the machine.
The brother gave permission for the machine.
These ladies were together for 27 years. Doesnt that count for something???
The healthy partner was aware of her wishes, but the law doesnt acknowledge that.
It's upsetting. It really is.
