Woman Died Alone Because She Had A Gay Partner
The same sex partner of a woman who died in a Miami, Florida hospital is filing a lawsuit against the hospital because she was not allowed to receive any information about her partner’s condition. The hospital would not take any of the medical history from the partner. They had been together for 18 years and had three children together. Who would know her better than her life partner?
The lawsuit comes because Florida does not recognize same sex relationships and the hospital told Langbehn that they were an antigay state and she would not be given any information about Pond’s condition. She would not be considered family. What about the children? Did anyone take into consideration that Pond and Langbehn had three children together?
People just do not think when it comes to death. If a person is dying, who makes you God and tells you who can see and who cannot see the patient? What was that hospital employee thinking? Pond was going to die and she had family waiting to see her. They had a right to say good-bye. It does not matter if the partner was of the same sex, she had a right to be with her partner. Pond died alone without being able to see her love one more time.
Unfortunately, this tragedy is seen everywhere. My concern right now is for the children of the gay couple. This hospital denied Langbehn a visit with Pond and the children were subjected to this kind of hatred. These children had to see first hand how their mother’s life has been. They were suppose to be on a fun family vacation that turned into a nightmare. One mother died and the other mother was denied her last moments with the person she loved for 18 years.
People who say they are Christians and believe in God, you are the ones that make the world this way. You have forced your views down everyone throats, now this woman died alone, and her children were subjected to your hateful ways.
Congratulation all of you, you have succeeded in going against anything that God says. You have denied a dying woman a family good-bye. You have subjected young children to your hate and you have made a mockery out of love. You have committed discrimination against one of Gods children. You have gone against the bible.
This is rather unfortunate. I come close to rage when I read things like this. WTF? If my BFF came to the hospital with me and it was an emergency and we’ve known each other all our lives, would the hospital deny her? NO!
In the tone of Michelle Rodriguez - don’t worry about other people’s vagina!
This one makes me mad too. It is just unbelieveable they would deny this woman in this way.

Just stopped by to say “Hi” from http://icdisease.today.com. Keep up the great work!
This disgusts me. How can a hospital do something so contrary to their mission? I don’t know if it was the hospital policy or just an employee who took it upon himself or herself to enforce some “moral” code, but this should be investigated. Changes must come! Shame on Florida!
