Gov. Jerry Brown just signed a law requiring that California health care providers be trained to better understand the specific health needs of the LGBT community.
The law is meant to target inequities in medical treatment for LGBT patients who, according to the San Francisco Examiner, suffer from a lack of provider understanding of gay and transgendered health issues.
Assemblyman Richard Gordon, D-Menlo Park, who authored the original bill AB 496, contends that LGBT patients have a variety of negative experiences with doctors and other healthcare professionals.
Lesbian couples complain that they have difficulty finding OB-GYN doctors willing to counsel them with in vitro fertilization options. Gordon adds that gays and lesbians criticize hospital staff for not treating them with respect while visiting their hospitalized life partners.

I guess Kalifornians could go to abortion clinics for prostate exams.
The headline is wrong. He didn’t pass a law, he signed one
I can see more than a few finally hanging up the old white jacket..
Picky, picky, picky...
wait...I thought once there was gay marriage I thought the gays would be happy and shut up.
Gay Couples Will Receive Fertility Coverage Under New State Law
Unmarried and gay couples will be ensured the same access to insurance coverage for fertility treatments as heterosexual couples under a bill California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Tuesday.
Authored by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), AB 460, clarifies the non-discrimination provision of an existing California law that requires health plans to cover fertility treatments, excluding in vitro fertilization.
“Reproductive medicine is for everybody’s benefit,” Ammiano said in a statement. “To restrict fertility coverage solely to heterosexual married couples violates California’s non-discrimination laws. I wrote this bill to correct that.”
One complication for gay couples has been that insurance coverage of fertility treatments typically does not kick in until couples have tried to conceive naturally for 12 months, the Associated Press reports. This has left some gay couples facing fertility treatments costing up to tens of thousands of dollars.

Moonbeam is truly from another world.
Meanwhile doctors are encouraged to “fat shame” obese people.
Reeducation Camp a Future Requirement or the Gulag
“Unmarried and gay couples will be ensured the same access to insurance coverage for fertility treatments as heterosexual couples under a bill California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Tuesday.”
Does this go for gay male couples too?
That should be their first clue.
California Über Alles
What are you going to counsel a lesbian on...”When you muff dive, try not to get hair in your teeth”.
Or to the gay guy...”pitching is more fun than catching”.
Shame on you...LOL!
LBGT’s should grow a pair and quit being so sensitive.
This is all straight out of Kafka.

And so is the insane populace which voted for him.
A friend of mine left California for Texas several years ago. Best move she ever made, she said. But now she's bothered by others who have moved to Texas from California and other looney liberal states. They're bringing their whacko ways with them.
LGBT sensitivity training...
Remember the old canard, “All we want to do is be able to come out of the closet.” That was just the homosexuals. As soon as they got out of the closet, they made a bee-line for our grade schools. Then the homosexual quotient was expanded to LGBT.
Today it’s open season on our kindergartners on issues I didn’t fully confront until I was nearing twenty.
This is absolute perversion of children’s minds. It causes them to be inquisitive on matters far beyond their years. The ramifications can’t be closed off short of young children wanting to learn or participate in activities they are a decade from being even remotely ready for.
To my way of thinking, this is line ‘em up against a wall and end it territory.
