Lesbian Wins In-Vitro Suit
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/10/100205inVitro.htm

A lesbian social worker has been awarded more than $19,000 in damages after a hospital refused to give her in-vitro fertilization when she showed up at the clinic without a man.

The Quebec Human Rights Commission recently agreed with Helene Zylberszac, 35, that she had been a victim of sexual discrimination.
The ruling obliges the McGill University Health Center and two fertility experts to pay Zylberszac $9,005 in physical damages and $10,000 in moral damages. The hospital must also stop denying reproductive services based on sexuality.

2. Cool article, headline writer needs more coffee
Somehow the first thing that came to mind was a lesbian on a game show jumping up and down and clapping, being awarded a glass dish with an itty bitty suit of clothes in it.

OK, maybe it's me who needs more coffee :-)
