Air Force gives extra benefits to homosexuals

The Air Force has followed the Army in giving “administrative absence” to homosexuals who want to get married. Air Force homosexuals living in a state that does not allow men to marry men or women to marry women may get seven to 10 extra days absence from duty if “located more than 100 miles from a U.S. state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdictions that allows the couple to marry. According to the policy, if two servicemembers are part of a couple and desire to get married, both members may be granted an administrative absence if qualified. Members may be granted up to seven days if stationed in the continental United States, and up to 10 days if stationed overseas.”

An Air Force man who wishes to marry a woman or an Air Force woman who wishes to marry a man must take normal, charged leave.

Of course, neither the Army nor the Air Force gives or denies extra privileges based on heterosexuality or homosexuality. All Soldiers and Airmen are treated the same.
