Lesbian Health at Risk
Posted by Meredith on Dec 30, 2004 at 03:23PM in Health - permalink

There's an opinion column in the Windy City Times (that's Chicago) that indicates the recent same-sex marriage bans passed in many states across the country are putting lesbian health at risk. The part of the column that scares me the most is the mention of a lesbian couple who listed each other on their powers of attorney and health proxies...and the hospital still won't let the well one visit the ill one. These women live in a small town in Virginia, and I live in Virginia too. I'm in a much more liberal part of the state - the state voted red overall, but my area voted blue - but that doesn't mean I'm in any better situation if myself or my partner gets sick. The column also mentions good parts of the situation - there are lesbian cancer support groups springing up around the country. The Mautner Project is a national organization focused on promoting lesbian health through a variety of services, research, and education.
