I don't know whether this is a problem. I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt, have quite a few gay friends and have never heard of anything like this happening here.

I really have zero problem with this rule as a matter of course, but does the President even have the power to do this? Isn't the spending power solely under Congress' control?

I guess to find out, we'll have to have a hospital who really wants to keep gay partners apart and is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect their right to do so.

I don't see this as a problem but then on the other hand Virginia just rolled back Civil Rights for homosexuals.

Unrelated, I know, but it just goes to show some people have certain disregard when this comes into question
