Sonoma County Separates Senior Gay Couple

I tried to post this earlier this morning but I couldn't get it to link. This just breaks my heart. How do these things still happen? From Bilerico Project:

One evening, Harold fell down the front steps of their home and was taken to the hospital. Based on their medical directives alone, Clay should have been consulted in Harold's care from the first moment. Tragically, county and health care workers instead refused to allow Clay to see Harold in the hospital. The county then ultimately went one step further by isolating the couple from each other, placing the men in separate nursing homes.
