I disagree - if you want to give someone the authority for such decisions - get a power of attorney. As for the visitation - I don't have an issue. But this should apply to any unmarried couple as far as both authority - get the legal documents in order - and visitation.
Like so much else - this is just something that discriminates againsts straight couples who do not marry - just like the health care bill discriminated by including a tax on white women, and the FDA discriminated in banning all but one brand of "flavored" cigarrettes (Guess which one they kept - give you some hints - its the most popular brand of its type among a certain ethnic group, starts with a K, ends with L - and has OO in the middle...)
Cater to the special little groups to make em all happy again. Doesn't matter that when it comes to health care decisions there was a mechanism in place. Doesn't matter that any member of a couple - regardless of sexuality - should be allowed to see their "other half". As long as the "special" people get their goodies - who cares if everyone else is left in the cold.
