For one thing, gay partners are not allowed certain visitation rights in
hospitals, as they are not family. This kind of irks them.


This is an irrelevant point. Say for example, I'm in hospital from massive
injuries from a car accident or something. The hospital says I'm only
allowed immediate family to visit. My best mate of 30 years, whom I love
like a brother, isn't allowed to visit. This would irk him too, but he
doesn't cry discrimination or equal rights about it.

With all due respect, is it possible you might consider censoring the
profanity from the articles you post to this worldwide forum. Your
use of profanity undermines any sense of responsibility and dignity
that might be conferred on airmen, and casts you personally in an
unflattering light, IMHO. Thank you.

I make every effort to choose the proper adjectives and adverbs for my
posts... In the cases where I choose to use profanity, I deem it the
most appropriate words for the thoughts that I am attempting to
convey...

Awh, perish the thought that someone reading this might consider
pilots merely human... Pilots come from all backgrounds... There's the
golfing ex- Air Force types and there's the cussing ex- Navy types...
I'm the latter...

Well, I guess I'm just old enough that I don't really care about such
things...

We actually had a good solution for that (the prepends, like OT, POL,
PED) but forgot. I've started prepending POL when I remember.

Agreed. I am outta here. The rest of you guys can bicker about God,
and gays, and Muslims all you want.

I'll continue to post my flying experiences here, but I hope to never,
ever, see another thread go off the deep end like this one did.

The hospital says I'm only
allowed immediate family to visit. My best mate of 30 years, whom I love
like a brother, isn't allowed to visit. This would irk him too, but he
doesn't cry discrimination or equal rights about it.

Would it irk you? Do you consider this "best mate" to =be= family?

No. He's not family. Nothing will change that. (unless he marries my sister
or something, and even then, he wouldn't pass as immediate family.)

Well then, your comparison to some gay couples is flawed. There are gay
couples that are like "boyfriend/girlfriend"; they are not family to
each other. They're dating. Those are not the ones seeking visitation
rights for themselves. However, there are other gay couples that have
committed themselves to each other for life. =They= are family to each
other. =They= are the ones that want their ssspouse to be able to visit
them.

That's far more akin to your wife being denied visitation rights because
she is not a blood relative. I bet that would irk you.
