Can anyone cite stats?

Tom Hanks (and others) are ripping on the LDS (Mormon) Church for that group's role in the passage of Prop 8 in California.

I keep hearing, "It's just WRONG to refuse to allow gay couples the right to visit their partners in the hospital."

Can someone cite, please, factual, actual stats on when and where this outrage is happening? It has, apparently, happened, I suppose, but is this really commonplace?

At hospitals I visit in Hawaii there are children, crowds of friends and relatives, and just short of farm animals visiting.

It's a pretextual argument. HIPAA and all that. But, practically, like you say, the whole neighborhood can traipse right on through without so much as nodding. Much ado about nothing as far as I can tell.

I can tell you that it is not an issue in Tennessee. I know this for a fact.

It is just another of the left wing using an untruth as a truth to distort the issues.

It's propaganda. In California, there's not a single difference between the legal rights afforded by a marriage certificate and a certificate of civil union.
