Missouri man arrested at hospital for refusing to leave gay partner
gay man was arrested at a hospital in Missouri this week when he refused to leave the bedside of his partner, and now a restraining order is preventing him from any type of visitation.
Roger Gorley told WDAF that even though he has power of attorney to handle his partner’s affairs, a family member asked him to leave when he visited Research Medical Center in Kansas City on Tuesday.
Gorley said he refused to leave his partner Allen’s bedside, and that’s when security put him in handcuffs and escorted him from the building.
“I was not recognized as being the husband, I wasn’t recognized as being the partner,” Gorley explained.

"For its part, Research Medical Center insisted that it does not discriminate based on sexual orientation.""
No but they allow families how obviously don't care about their children to force their partners out, even when they have legal power of attorney. If anyone should have a restraining order against them its that family.
