Nobody saw this coming, huh.

Now that persons openly homosexuals may serve in the military:

"’The bill's ban on use of military facilities and chaplains officiating at ceremonies for gay and lesbian service members is nothing more than plain, old-fashion discrimination.’" -- Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.

A “coalition of rights groups” says it will “hold a summit on the rights of same-sex couples in the military,” pushing for housing, health care and other benefits for the “partners of gay troops.”

("Partners of gay troops"? Is that like not married? Oh. The US military doesn't recognize same-sex marriage. Not yet.)
