Please accept the fact that I am a concerned father of a lesbian daughter and her wife. I most certainly am not here to point fingers or to ridicule anyone for their decisions with regards to the paths that they have decided to take in life.

When I initially saw the posts about healthcare barriers for a significant sector of our population I naturally began to wonder if my daughter and her wife might possibly have difficulty in receiving equal treatment medically.
I contacted her and presented the question to her and she was quick to reply that she’s never experienced anything that made her feel awkward or that she wasn’t receiving very good care and that her dignity was never infringed upon. As their father, I have to tell you that I feel much better now.
I will leave with something that I learned in the military many years ago.

Equal is not always fair
And
Fair is not always equal
