Remember when we were told that all GLBT’s wanted was to serve openly? Yeah, looks more like there were some ulterior motives
With the official end of the U.S. military’s ban two weeks away, gay-rights activists are pressing the Pentagon for more than just the right to serve openly. (Snip)
In addition, the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which led a long fight in Washington to repeal the ban, has written to Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta urging him to extend military housing and other benefits to the same-sex spouses of personnel.
“Provisions in the Defense of Marriage Act and other laws prohibit the Department of Defense from extending certain benefits, such as housing and transportation allowances, to same-sex partners,†said Pentagon spokesman George Little.
The military has no plans to recognize gay marriage, as there is that pesky federal law, signed by William Clinton. You can see where they’re going, right? A complete overturn of DOMA and other federal laws, and replace them with protectionist laws.
