A lesbian couple from Westchester yesterday filed the first suit against a Catholic institution for refusing to recognize New York’s gay-marriage law.

The Manhattan federal court filing says the women — identified only as “Jane Roe” and “Jane Doe” — were wed Oct. 15, and that “Roe,” who’s worked at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Yonkers since 2007, later applied to add “Doe” to her medical-benefits coverage.

But the request was denied by both St. Joseph’s and its insurance administrator, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, because hospital policy excludes same-sex spouses.

Cowards!

They insist we "recognize" them, they call people out as bigots and homophobs, embarrass them all over the papers and press,.........then anonymously file suit.

Absolute cowards.

Exactly, they will make practical application of the Sacraments illegal. The Anointing of the Sick is why we have Catholic Hospitals. A court will rule that it isn’t. The state will tell us what our Sacraments really mean. I had a Lib on the Boston Herald web-site do just that.

A few years back, a teacher at a Catholic High School in Delaware signed onto a pro-abortion full page ad in the local newspaper. She was fired for it and proceeded to sue the school and the Diocese - she lost.
