I think the patient or next of kin or whatever should decide on who can visit. Its none of the governments business.
If I want my best fishing buddy to visit that should be okay too. If they want their best fisting.... lol

Couldn’t agree more!!
‘I think the patient or next of kin or whatever should decide on who can visit. Its none of the governments business.”
The hospital should also have a say since they have liability but otherwise I agree with you.
People have always been able to decide who can visit them and who cannot. Also, if it’s a case of a “partner” (I hate that term; it makes all business partners look like gays!), then they should write medical directives or name the other as their medical executors.
If the sick or injured person were straight, nobody of the opposite sex could just walk in off the street and ask to visit or even make decisions for that person, regardless of the personal relationship claimed. The same is true of gays, and there was no discrimination being practiced here.
The problem is how does the hospital know you want him in if you are too sick or injured to tell them. OTOH, do you want your best fishing buddy deciding whether or not to put you under the knife?
