 Janice Langbehn and Lisa Pond were ready to depart on a family cruise with their children when tragedy struck. Lisa collapsed and was rushed to a Miami hospital. At the hospital, Janice was told she was in an antigay state and kept from seeing her partner of 20 years. Lisa lay dying alone with her family just feet away in the next room.
We're suing the hospital on Janice's behalf. We're also calling on the next President of the United States to create a health care plan that ensures fair treatment for LGBT people and people with HIV in hospitals and health care settings.
Help us get 10,000 signatures on our petition, and we'll deliver them to the new President soon after the election in November!
Sign the Petition
We the undersigned call on the next President to develop a health care plan for America that ensures equal access to quality health care for LGBT people and those with HIV. Equal access means that hospitals must treat all patients with dignity and respect by adopting and implementing visitation policies that include as "family" same-sex partners, their children and other people who play a significant role in the individual patient's life. It also means that health care professionals must provide care without discrimination and honor the wishes of all patients.
In Case of Emergency: Respect All People and Families
