Suite Hotel Reservations

Christians: How would you handle these two hypotheticals involving gay marriage?
Hypothetical #1:
You own a hotel in America. You have a reservation for an “A&S Smith” from Canada on their honeymoon. They show up, marriage certificate in hand, and turn out to be Adam and Steve Smith, just married in Toronto, Canada. They’ve reserved the Honeymoon Suite and have been promised all the treatment customarily given to newly-weds.
What do you do?
Hypothetical #2:
You run a hospital in America. You are responsible for deciding which family member makes the decisions for incapacitated patients (those who cannot speak for themselves).
An ambulance shows up with Adam and Steve Smith inside. Adam is fine but poor Steve was hit by a truck while crossing the road. Steve is in a coma. Adam insists that being Steve’s lawfully wedded spouse he has the responsibility to make decisions on Steve’s behalf.
What do you do?
In the first case the hotel/motel have a contractual agreement between A&S Smith. Once agreed to they are legally bound to it no manner who A&S are.
In the second case, unfortuneately, in the US it doesn’t manner what citizenship you are, the law of the jurishdiction you are in prevail. In this case Adam has no rights of a spousal nature in any state in the US. Why? Becasue the US privacy laws are written to cover and prevent non-blood reletives to be considered anything but associates.
It is extremely important for gay couples to have durable power of attorney for medical treatement for ones partner.
In some states there is a requirement for directing long term care as well.
Do your research well and protect yourselves and your relationships with all the necessary legal documents necessary to protect your rights and your properties.
Don’t wait, that truck that hit Steve could be aimed at you or your spouse next.
