Not even close.  Even with extensive paperwork, a hospital can still deny a homosexual's partner from seeing them.  All a hetero person has to say is "I'm their wife/husband" and no questions are asked.  No request for a marriage license, nothing.\n\nI said "I do" and I came into a whole LOAD of rights...right then and there.  Gay people don't have that.\n\nAnd it's a shame.

Do you have home owners insurance? If so call them. You should be concerned for them no matter how fat or gay they are. Do what you can to help them.

OK. I'm single and not really looking because my job is nightshift and I find it hard to go out after a long shift. I'm catholic, but still believe in a woman's right to choose and in Gay civil right(figure out that one-I'm still trying). I believe in always being loyal to a friend til death and beyond. If that isn't personal enough let me know.

no.  Why should I sacrifice my beliefs?  What makes homosexual marriage more valid than the way it has been for centuries.  Marriage has always meant a man and woman.  If they want a commitment ceremony fine.  I am all for having a list for whoever the sick person in the hospital wants to see including friends.  Most companies already provide insurance coverage for a partner.\n\nBut there is no need to change the definition of marriage.

Yes, there are legal ramifications for witholding medical information that could be detrimental to the health of others. But, you need to realize, you're just as guilty. \n\nWhat if he had HIV?  You need to be kissing the ground right now!  Women and men cannot blame people for not digging deep into their partners sexual history to find out if they've contracted diseases along the way.\n\nLet this be a lesson learned to you for the next relationship you're in.  So many times we see these commercials telling us to talk to our partners about STDs, but do we?  Of course not. We're too afraid they'll get mad at us or think we're nasty for bringing it up. And this is exactly what happens.\n\nSure, you can take your boyfriend (now ex) to court and sue but, in the end, you need to be more prudent in your sexual partners and more inqusitive about people's sexual history.

Wow...that would actually be a really cool essay to write.\n\nWhat class are you writing it for?  That might help you to decide what angle you want to approach it from.\n\nAll these men dedicated a portion of their lives trying to provide more equality for groups that suffered some form of societal injustice.  However, each man had a very different approach regarding how to achieve this.  You could talk about their relative strategies and the effectiveness of these strategies.

Let's see: under a civil union they can be compelled to testify against their partner, not allowed to adopt, not allowed hospital vistis, can't make medical decisions, no right to inhirit peoperty, no spousal immigrations benefits, no conjugal visits with their mates if legal problems occur. Legally married couples take these rights for granted. Gay couples do not have these legally protected rights because they are not related by marriage. Just because gay couples have given power of attorney or made wills does not mean the wishes will be carried out if the family of one or the other protests.

Well, I here is a link that I've found useful. It talks a lot about the issue, and has a lot of resources: http://www.anu.edu.au/BoZo/Scott/Studentresources.html

Not enough information is given.  what is your stance?  IS ot a DBQ [Document Based Question]?  Or a FRQ [Free Response Question]?  What does the prompt specifically ask for?  Teh information given is WAY to broud.  Also, don't ask for a thesis and then use the exact one someone might give you.  Turnitin.com might catch you.  That would be bad.

Why are you trying to get us to do your homework? :-)  If you have access to medical journals (from the hospital computer or library search the New England Journal of Medicine there have been plenty of studies on the value of diversity among health professionals, also JAMA has a few.

The current debate is foundational.  It touches on the issues of how the country should be governed.  Whether we should employ democratic and constitutional processes to change the meaning and intent of the US Constitution and the granting of "rights."  Second, the current campaign will not ensure that your brother or any other gay or lesbian persons will actually enjoy the privileges and benefits that current heterosexuals enjoy now as a married couple.  In short, the current campaign for gay marriages is ill-conceived and will cause more harm than good for both homosexuals, bisexuals and heterosexuals.  You need to look beyond the hype and your emotions and become informed.  Your goals are not helped by using the incorrect political process.\n\nThere are several secular and non-religious reasons for rejecting the current process to secure "Marriage" or "Civil Unions" for gay and lesbians. I have summarized the major reasons below. For more indepth analysis, see the reference below.\n\nI.Why the Current Campaign to Establish Gay \nMarriages Is Anti-Democratic and Anti-Constitutional\n\n\nOur government was founded upon the premise that “Governments are instituted among men [and women], deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The current attempt to change the scope and meaning of the US Constitution in regards to 'gay marriages' by side stepping the amendment process will--in the end--jeopardize everyone's freedom. The attempt to expand the current tradition and meaning of marriage to include same gendered individuals through either a judicial pronouncement of a single state or federal judge--or a decision by a “State” or an Appellate Court, and/or through the edicts of several local politicians--should be seen as an attack on our constitutional democracy from within. \n\nSeeking to expand the rights of a few, by the few, by trouncing on the rights of the governed, should be seen as an act similar to those which occasioned the creation of the “Declaration of Independence.”\n\nIt is our position that expanding the rights of gays and lesbians to enter into marriage should be done through the amendment process that has been used for over 200 years. Seeking to side step the ‘constitutional’ process in favor of expediency is a sign not of enlightenment, patriotism, nor constitutional fidelity, but of hubris—of pride and arrogance. Historical and constitutional integrity requires all Americans to work to defeat the present attempt to expand the U.S. Constitution by the dictates of the few whether or not an individual believes that granting “gay marriages’ is a just cause.\n\nAs stated above and worth mentioning again, it is our position here that the real issue is not whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry. The real issues are (1) did the original white male voters, who approved the original articles of the Constitution, mean to include gays and lesbians in the institution of marriage and, if not, (2) did subsequent voters expand marriage to include gays and lesbians and, if not, (3) what are the proper means for expanding the institution of marriage to include gays and lesbians?\n\nAs Americans, we should all believe in the use of the “proper means for a proper end.” The proper means for expanding the rights we have under the US Constitution is to submit such changes to the American people via a proposed Constitutional Amendment. We believe that the US Constitution should only be changed with the consent of the governed as is required in our democracy.\n\nThe current campaign to enact 'gay marriages' without allowing all Americans to exercise their right to vote is counter-productive to maintaining our constitutional form of democracy, divisive to society, a waste of tax payers' dollars and a frivolous use of the time and skills of our elected and judicial officials. We believe that our elected and judicial officials

"The Gay Agenda" ? Have not read it nor have I ever seen it...interesting though. However, I am Gay and have been with my Partner, registered as we live in California,  for 10 years. Our agenda is to raise our 9 year old son, who is, by the way,  an honor student for all of you right wing crackpots out there,  and be a happy family. We work, do laundry, homework, take vacations, cleanhouse, spend time with Grandmas, Grandpas, cousins, Aunts and Uncles...not really exciting as far as an "agenda" goes. I'd say it's pretty much the same agenda a heterosexual family would have...I was raised in one you know.

I know that for years now there has been legislature passed and then revoked for manditory AIDS testing in the US for people in high risk areas, ie. prostitutes, drug abusers, health care workers, etc.  But I dont' believe it has yet officially passed.  A few months ago I read where Bill Clinton wanted mandatory testing for high risk countries...I don't know what came of it though.  Here is the article if you want to read it.\n\nIf you have a baby now at my docs office you have to have an HIV test done.  I don't mind, I am sure there are some people out there who may not want to know, or don't want their docs to know.  \n\nThis might be a tough topic to research, but very interesting to see where you end up with it, which means it will make a good paper.  Maybe you could also research the benefits of finding out early, going through the painful treatment for it and feeling that the energy and joy has been removed from your life because the treatments are so exhausting  vs. not finding out until you are very ill, yet you had lived a happy life until then, without the painful treatement.  Either way, you end up dying eventually, right?\n\nIt's an interesting debate.  Like I said, I wonder where in the spectrum you will end up when finished.
