Some of the biggest dictators and exploitative leaders of the world have been great orators who were able to draw crowds and distract people with their speech.

FAIL.
I'l roll with your bottom line on this one. Although, I'm not a supporter if same-sex marriages, I do believe that gay partners need to be afforded some basic human rights, such as visitation.
That being said, forcing hospitals to extend visitation to non-family members is a slippery slope to start off with, and this method of implementation is even worse.....
