After the couple completed a 14-mile march in 90 degree heat, Kristin, who suffers from epilepsy, collapsed in a seizure. At the hospital, Teresa was barred from visiting her partner and giving advice about her treatment at a Fresno hospital. The ACLU sent a letter to the hospital today urging that it adopt policy changes respecting same-sex relationships.
