So....I'm in the hospital today after being in a car accident (passenger, not allowed to drive right now because I have seizures that aren't under control). After I was admitted, they asked if I was married and when I said yes, they asked for my wife's name. I kept correcting them and saying husband. And when my husband finally arrived, they kept talking about my "wife" while around both of us. Clearly talking about my husband, but while calling him my wife. I sometimes call him that, but it's meant as a sweet joke that we both think is funny (he always smiles and says, "Yes I am, don't you forget it!" because it always earns him a kiss). However, we both find it incredibly rude and it makes us very uncomfortable to hear others say it. Only one of my friends has any permission to even joke about it. Should I say anything? This doesn't seem like professional behavior to me.
I am sorry to hear about your accident and I hope you get better soon Personally I would definitely say something and possibly even complain higher up. And then see what that gives you. Because this sounds to me like homophobic behavior.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been in an accident I agree that you should file a complaint with an authority figure
