[QUOTE=Starbuck;428599]I am ecstatic that military chaplains have been given the right to perform same sex marriages on or off base! This is one less discriminatory thing service members have to worry about, where they can say their vows or who they can have marry them. Now the only down side is it still has to be legal in the state in which they are stationed, if I read that correctly. But yea! Another step forward![/QUOTE
So if they die does this mean the benefits will be their partner's?

[quote=Okiebug61;428961]Well no there shouldn't, but there are laws on the books that need to be repealed, and until then there are no benefits to partners. So tell your Senator, your Congressperson they need to do as you ask not as they wish for a change.

I found this amazingly beautiful video on the Equality Florida website.
I wish this woman would run for congress. Smooches, Keri I was just going to give you the link and ask for help uploading it, but I found the video on youtube as well, so here (hopefully) it is |

Prop 8 Repeal Fight May Go Forward
As Equality California is mired by internal turmoil and the loss of its second executive director in several months, another LGBT rights group says they are moving forward with plans to place a repeal of Proposition 8 on California's 2012 ballot. Rex Wockner reports: Love Honor Cherish will submit language to the California attorney general by Friday for a ballot measure to overturn Prop 8. The attorney general will write a petition title and summary, and then LHC can collect voter signatures for 150 days. The group would need to collect valid signatures from 807,615 registered California voters. The initiative would amend the California Constitution to delete or overturn Prop 8, via which voters amended the Constitution in 2008 to re-ban same-sex marriage. The Los-Angeles-based organization's outreach director, Lester Aponte, said Oct. 11 that LHC already has launched efforts to build a statewide campaign structure. |
