Lesbian mom fights for justice in partner's death. Mother and kids denied visitation with dying partner in Florida hospital.

A year ago Janice Langbehn's partner of nearly 18 years was pronounced brain dead after being stricken with a brain aneurysm. While at Jackson Memorial Hospital - in Miami - she was met with prejudice and apathy. Janice and her family were consistently denied visitation and didn't see her partner, Lisa Pond, until many hours after she was admitted. Lambda Legal has officially sent a notice of intent to sue to the hospital on Janice's behalf.

Paternal Instinct

We saw this emotionally charged film at the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival where it won Best Documentary in 2004. Paternal Instinct has since won other awards for its raw telling of a gay couple's journey though surrogacy.

Check-out this short clip from the film.
