Could a heterosexual couple file the same type of suit? Would a husband file a suit because it wasn't detected in his new bride? I think that they wouldn't be able to, and it would also be a new low in shallowness of a relationship. Oops...but that's expecting morals to come into play. Homos don't have that.

Not entirely clear from what the article gives, but I would assume they are both plaintiffs in the suit. Before the "marriage," the "spouse" wouldn't have had standing to claim anything. As a "spouse," she can claim loss of consortium. (Loss of consortium can also be claimed by blood relatives, e.g., parents or children.)
Obviously, the woman affected could have filed a medical malpractice suit at any time just on the basis of the misdiagnosis. (I don't know why she didn't or even if she didn't, unless she was waiting for the SJC decision.) But a live-in significant other has no standing.

The whole point is to advance the agenda. Get the courts, the medical profession, the insurance industry, etc. to acknowledge the "legitimacy" of same sex marriage.
The homosexual agenda is being pushed through the courts at breakneck speed.
It was only a year ago that we were told that we were exaggerating what was in the chute.
