No Gays in US Hospitals?

RCP has the text of the speech up already.

Overall, it didn’t do much for me. A lot of blah blah blah… Hillary gave the best speech of the convention.

I did like this passage:

The times are too serious, the stakes are too high for this same partisan playbook. So let us agree that patriotism has no party. I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain. The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and Independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America – they have served the United States of America.

But I’m still scratching my head over this:

I know there are differences on same-sex marriage, but surely we can agree that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters deserve to visit the person they love in the hospital and to live lives free of discrimination.
