Same-sex couple claims discrimination at doctor's office

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) -- They went to the doctor's office for an exam, but a same-sex couple said they got a lecture on lifestyle instead.

Ashleigh Haberman and Erica Schaub have made a life-long commitment to one another after getting married in Canada.

The openly lesbian couple has been together for nearly two years. They say their lifestyle and raising four children from previous relationships has its challenges, but they had never experienced discrimination, they say, until now.

But instead of her symptoms, they say the doctor was more interested in the couple's relationship and how they felt about the recent California ruling allowing same-sex marriage.

"And he proceeded to give his opinion on how he felt that marriage, gay marriage, shouldn't be called a marriage because it's a religious based word, and he's a Christian, and there's no way that marriage could be considered legal in the gay sense," said Haberman.

1. That's disgusting

I'm sorry, but this man is a hypocrite--if he's read the teachings of Jesus, he'd know it. Hope the ladies can find another doctor to visit.

2. There's got to be something that couple can do

To report that bigoted doctor. That's fucking inexcusible.
