    Default More Good News for Gay Military!

    Spouses can now get an ID card in all 50 states. The path to equality continues!

    Screw you Oklahoma and Texas!



    All U.S. states now are issuing military-identification cards to the same-sex spouses of National Guard members, allowing them to obtain benefits available to married couples, the Defense Department said yesterday.

    Mississippi was the last state to comply with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s directive this fall for state-military units to provide the cards to gay spouses so they can claim benefits just like opposite-sex spouses.

    “All military spouses and families sacrifice on behalf of our country,” Hagel said yesterday. “ They deserve our respect and the benefits they are entitled to under the law.”

    Obtaining a military-ID card allows spouses to use military commissaries and to be included on health-insurance plans offered by the National Guard.

    In October, Hagel criticized nine states that he said had refused to comply with his directive.

    Several Republican-led states responded by accusing the Obama administration of using the military to force social change.

    The nine states have chosen different ways to comply with Hagel’s directive and state prohibitions against same-sex marriage.

    In Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, workers who issue ID cards to same-sex spouses will be put on temporary-active duty, giving them federal status.

    Florida, Oklahoma and South Carolina relocated card machines to federal installations in those states, while Indiana and West Virginia will process the cards at all state National Guard locations, according to the Defense Department.

    The department began issuing ID cards to ensure benefits for same-sex spouses after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act on June 26.

    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Send the two fags to Afghanistan. They do HIV testing so it may be a crap shoot that the two queens get in given their risky chosen behaviors

    He might be confusing different mods. I've told him I shut off both sigs and avatars because I have kids and some of them aren't remotely okay for them to view (or at least that was the case in the past, remember KingRaw?)
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
