Here you go. If they can not discriminate between visitors then they have to let anyone who wants in come in unless you have asked for them to be kept out.
So former friends, ex-spouses, your boss, your landlord all they have to do is claim to be your lover and they are whisked right in.
Now this may not be the intention of the memo BUT it will be the result. Because the first time a hospital asks one of the gay lovers for some kind of proof that they are actually in relationship with the patient they will scream to the heavens that their civil rights were violated and the hospital committed a hate crime.
So the hospital will not ask. It may sound wild but did you ever think you would see the day when people could wander into either a boys or girls bathroom depending on what sex they "felt like" they were that day?
Nonsense--you're talking about "public access," not discrimination. Discrimination or non-discrimination has nothing to do with letting jsut anyone in off the street. A private school can't discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual preference, etc.--that doesn't mean they take everyone who simply wants entry to their school. Ditto with apartments, private companies, etc.
You've completely distorted the meaning of disccrimination. You as much admit you're incorrect when you later add "Now this may not be the intention of the memo ..." and that the first time the hospital asks someone will scream discrimination. The first time someone asks for access and is shown right in, as you say, and the patient threatens to sue the hospital for lax security.
Obviously you don't have to agree with the ruling, but to simply invent things doesn't make sense.
It may sound wild but did you ever think you would see the day when people could wander into either a boys or girls bathroom depending on what sex they "felt like" they were that day?
A bit paranoid, aren't we? I've never seen this very rare occurance happen--have you?
