I Only Have One Thing To Say To The Gay Arm Service Members

Thank you for your service.
The group Outserve had a conference in Las Vegas this past week and there were no protests, yelling or screaming. (thank you westboro Church fo rnot showing up)
However, I do have issues with the group. for instance, from the Reno Gazette Journal-Herald: Despite the warm reception she has received from superiors and colleagues, Morgan learned last week that because the military still does not recognize same-sex spouses as dependents, her wife, Karen, will not be allowed to attend an upcoming welcome home ceremony at National Guard headquarters in New Hampshire for deployed troops and their families.
Morgan, 47, who spent a dozen years in the Army on active duty and has been in the National Guard for another seven, also is battling breast cancer and is continuing to lobby to have military benefits extended to families like hers so they will be taken care of if she does not survive.
"She deserves the same benefits as any other spouse," Morgan said. "She went through the same stress, fear and concern during my deployment as any other spouse."

The vast majority of the States in the United States do not recognize gay marriage and the Federal government does not either. Because of this, her "wife" ( don't know if she got legally married- the article did not say one way or another)should not get the same benefits as married spouces. The same would be true for straight people who are not married but live together and have kids. they don't deserve anything either. Until the federal law is changed, existing law needs to be enforced.
Again, for those who are gay and served in the service, thank you for your service.
