I wanted to post this here, because I believe this is how the military is going to "phase in" ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ sodomy "rights."
My neighbors have an 18 year old grandson who just joined the Marines. After boot camp at Paris Island, he has been stationed in Hawaii. My neighbor served 20 years in the Army before he retired. He is very proud of his grandson's service.
His grandson called recently and told him that he was sending for his girlfriend because he missed her. My neighbor scoffed because, in his thinking, the young girl would never be able to afford to live on the economy there. However, his grandson informed him that there are new rules in place that allow enlisted to live off post with their unmarried girlfriends and receive a housing allowance and separate rats.
Now, I can't verify that this is so, but IF it is then this is how the military will deal with this. Some ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs can "marry" in some states and can enter into civil unions in others. I have long wondered how the military will deal with this regarding benefits and also regarding ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs who can't "marry" because of their states laws.
I'm going to keep watching this.
