A former employee of the Missouri hospital accused of having a gay man arrested and allowing him to be beaten while removing him from his husband's bedside used homophobic language to defend the facility's decision online, Americablog reported on Friday.
Ugly details emerged Friday from the standoff involving a gay man who was forced to leave his sick husband's bedside by hospital staff and police. According to Think Progress, Roger Gorley was ignored by hospital staff, then beaten by police as he desperately clung to the rail of his partner Allen Mansell's bed. After he'd been bloodied and subdued, Gorley was accused of having AIDS by one officer, who refused to touch him without gloves and insisted that his handcuffs be thrown away after they were used on Gorley.
A 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.
