Navy backtracks on allowing same-sex marriage on military basesThe Navy has backtracked on a plan to allow chaplains to conduct same-sex marriages on military bases once "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the ban on gays serving openly in the military, is repealed. The decision follows opposition from conservatives, who cite a separate law on banning gay marriages on federal facilities. Rear Adm. Mark Tidd on Tuesday suspended a memo he issued on April 13 that has caused anger among conservatives. According to the Washington Post, the suspension was "pending additional legal and policy review."

From article: "We find it difficult to understand how the military is somehow exempt from abiding by federal law," the lawmakers wrote. "Not only does this document imply recognition and support of same-sex marriage in opposition to DOMA, but it also implies that the Navy will now perform these marriages so long as they do not violate state statutes."
"The administration and various states may be operating as if DOMA doesn't exist, but the Navy and Marine Corps and all the Armed Services are sworn to obey the law," they added"
I know that this was placed to be a ahh haa Conservatives have it out against gay people, but, the truth is we have laws that must be followed, and until those laws are done away with we must follow the letter of the law, if not the spirit.

The issue of the Defense of Marriage Act was actually brought up in this discussion thread yesterday ~ and it seems it was brought up to the Navy, too. I noticed yesterday (and didn't comment) that it was only Navy Chaplains (not the other military chaplains) that had been given the go-ahead, now I wonder if they jumped the gun a bit.

I wish the gay wars would just go way, really. People that are not hurting other people-- who cares? I wonder sometimes if people that are anti-gay have ever known a gay person, or if they had a bad experience with one, or what? Just seems to me it is not that big a deal what gays do in the scheme of things. And it is really nothing but a political game at this point, for both sides, with people stuck in the middle, as usual. JMO, but I'm not budging on it. ;D

Okay, krickitt, except for the vulnerable adolescent, and what adolescent is not sexually vulnerable? It's bad enough that our kids get exposed to drugs, but to have horny homosexuals playing games with their minds for their own gratification worse to a magnitude that can''t be measured.

I agree, horny homosexuals playing mind games would be very bad. But the same could be said for horny heterosexuals in the schools, etc. I know 2 families of gay people that raised heterosexual kids that are great kids. I just see it as -- there are good gay people just like there are good straight people, and the other way around. Probably because I went to barber school very young, 17 YO, and was exposed to many gay people. Just like any one else. Some I liked, even loved, some I fiercely disliked. Cut hair for 13 years.. many gay people in the field. It is just not an issue for me personally. I CAN see some issues in the military, like showering, etc, but not just in general. JMO. PLUS-- I stay out of military policy issues, because it is not my business and I have no personal knowledge of what it is like to be military. I defer to the experts, and respect their judgement on this. Hope they keep politics out of it, and do the best thing for the troops is all I care about when it comes to military. Don't be mad at me, henry. I you.

the same could be said for horny heterosexuals in the schools, I don't believe it is the same. Your example is a criminal act. The homosexual hit falls under the "victimless" agenda. It's worse even than closet incest. At least that one is specific to opposite gender and as terrible as it is, it is only destrys the bond between the participants. Homosexual advances on the "not yet sexually secure" will affect their social networking forever.

Thanks, and I wonder how many "homosexuals" there are who never were until they were hit on by some overanxious dimwit with no self control but ever ready to unload on any nearby young person's inquisitive nature and blame society for their own shortcomings. nd btw . . .
