Jennifer Coleman, Baylor Health Care System’s senior vice president for consumer affairs, has commented on the below post about the Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center’s refusal to allow gay couples to sign up for family memberships. For my full story on the situation, go here.
I’ve tried calling Coleman in response to her comments, but her assistant tells me she’s at a two-day conference and unavailable. Well, apparently not too unavailable to comment on this blog, but anyhow, it sounds like Coleman is working to address the problem. After the jump, find out what she’s said.

Everyone, this was an interesting suggestion about what may be a trend in health clubs in Texas and the family definition that we definitely will research. It’s important to us that people use our fitness center to get healthy and stay that way, and we’ll see what our research yields. I can’t swear to it, but I am not sure this has come up before so please give us a little time to review. Thanks, and if you want to comment please send me a note at baylorhealth@gmail.com.

Perhaps this will help. The American Academy of Family Physicians defines a family as:
The family is a group of individuals with a continuing legal, genetic and/or emotional relationship. Society relies on the family group to provide for the economic and protective needs of individuals, especially children and the elderly. (1984) (2009 COD)
She’s CLEARLY busy – she doesn’t even have time for personal pronouns.
