errr categorically no.
Your father and stepmothers "marriage" would be recognised under "common law" I would guess. LL or Mike would prolly no better.
Gay's significant others have been refused visitiations.

No, GA no longer recognizes Common Law Marriage unless the couple had a Common Law Marriage in a state where they are still happening. Even though they've been together for 15 or so years, own property together, wear wedding rings, go to marriage counseling and my Dad has been called "Mr. Herlastname" the state doesn't recognize them in any more of a marriage than my neighbor and I.
From what I've read, gays who have been denied access are usually denied access by the hospitalized patient's family members, not by the hospital. I would assume this would happen in my "parent's" situation also, except we all like each other. For now.
