Perhaps, that will be the success of their lawsuit. So much focus is on marriage equality and DADT and EDNA that the right of conscious bill kinda went to the side. I'm grateful that this doctor was not providing emergency care to a lesbian - not knowing how to treat one, she may have killed her!

I doubt very seriously the lesbian couple will sue the doctor then turn around and use her for medical services. They're making a point. And if they're successful, it will send a message to every other doctor who refuses to treat homosexuals. You are suggesting that there are homophobic doctors who keep their bias to themselves and purposely provide poor service. That might bet true. Just as I'm sure there are a lot of doctors who don't have a problem whatsoever with homosexuals and they STILL provide poor service. This issue isn't about the quality of medical service; this issue is about discrimination. Ms. Anonymous (great name!)

The lady clearly has a bias -- why sue to go to her? She'd probably give poorer care ... It's not right, but I think the better option would be to move on to another doctor. I'm sure there are other doctors that are just as biased -- they just keep it to themselves and dole out subpar treatment.
