Follow up: Army Base Will Allow Spouses Group To Exclude Lesbian

[thrace_]

Follow up to this postThe Pentagon late Tuesday night backed up the decision of Army leaders at Fort Bragg in North Carolina not to intervene in the case of a military spouses group that denied membership to the lesbian wife of a servicemember, citing a 2008 policy that has not been revised since "don't ask, don't tell" was repealed in 2011

Fucking Fort Bragg...

I know right? Spouse's next duty station and, happily, I refuse to associate with these asshats.

Hope you aren't a secular family because they also don't allow secular groups to meet on base, but Christianity groups are a-okay!

Oh no, we're Pagan. LOL. Hope they choke on that!

Not stepping up, guys. Jayzus.

The reason cited by an Army spokesman at Fort Bragg: "[F]ederal discrimination laws don't extend to sexual orientation."

Sounds like it's about time to fix that, methinks.

Damn right.

I was hopeful that DOMA would get focused on after the amazing wins in November but then America once more got distracted.

It doesn't help that North Carolina passed a marriage amendment declaring marriage to be between a man and a woman. As for this group, I say if they won't allow the spouses of gay service people to join, then kick their asses off the base and make them meet somewhere else.
