How can it be in a modern democracy that a an individual is barred from the bedside of its suffering partner just because they are Lesbian or Gay?

Regardless of what rights to marriage or tax right, etc that one believes the gay and lesbian communities should hold, this is something that everyone should agree on. This not only applies to those communities, but to other people who do not have relatives to be with them and would need the support of a neighbor or a friend when in the hospital.

Many LGBT individual’s and their partners will benefit from the Memorandum.
