Bid To Undo Some Parts Of Anti-Gay Amendment Fails-Utah

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/020205utahUpdt.htm

After rushing to write a ban on gay marriage into the state constitution last year, Utah legislators are in no hurry to repair damage the law could deal other kinds of domestic partners.

The Senate overwhelmingly voted late Tuesday to kill a bill that would have eased restrictions imposed by the gay marriage ban. The legislation came under fire from conservative lobby groups in this heavily Republican state where anything seen as advancing gay rights is often doomed to failure.

Taken literally, the gay marriage ban could deny hospital visitation or survivor's property rights to children being brought up by grandparents, or to senior citizens who live together but do not marry for financial reasons. Siblings living in the same household also could find themselves without customary rights.

Do you really think they want granparents raising kids, or unmarried seniors living together?

Tell gay nurses and doctors in Utah to deny visitation to grandparents and seniors.

Let them taste the fruits of their own labor.

Let's go out of our way to make sure this law gets enforced "equally."
