[QUOTE]"Unfortunately the homosexuals have ruined my marriage," he explained to reporter Bruce Nolan. "Every year more and more of them get married, and every year the relationship with my wife gets worse.
"Ever since the Supreme Court struck down DOMA, we've been sleeping in separate rooms. It's like I don't even know who she is anymore. This is what the gays want: to destroy the institution of marriage. We won't be the last."

It certainly was. I have to admit that I read the portion of the article which you quoted with credence (and face-palming) for a short time before noticing its source. Rick Santorum is one of a series of serious hopefuls since 2000 for the post of United States president, including the one who actually attained the presidency and held it for a second term at the start of that period, who came out with such breathtaking idiocy time after time that I would not have employed them in any position which involved opening their mouths. Hence my brief credence.

This makes the whole Catholic notion that Mary stayed a virgin more understandable...

[URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/14/pentagon-gay-benefits_n_3756266.html"]Pentagon To Extend Benefits To Gay Spouses[/URL][QUOTE]The benefits will be made available to same-sex spouses as long as the service member provides a valid marriage certificate. But earlier plans to provide benefits to unmarried gay partners have been dropped, officials said Wednesday.

Military personnel in a same-sex relationship who are stationed in a state that does not permit same-sex marriage will be allowed to take leave for travel to a jurisdiction where they can marry legally.

"This will provide accelerated access to the full range of benefits offered to married military couples throughout the department, and help level the playing field between opposite-sex and same-sex couples seeking to be married," said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman.[/QUOTE]So it looks like any legally married couple will get benefits regardless of what state they are stationed in. And if they want to marry but are in a state that does not offer same sex marriage, they will be granted leave to travel to another state to get legally married.

some classic lines: [QUOTE]if there is any doubt why such an opinion might be met with hostility, it has to do with privilege. You can write it off as “political correctness” if you wish, but the truth is that privilege always lies with the majority. They’re so used to being catered to that they see the lack of catering as an imbalance. They don’t see anything wrong with having things set up to suit them, what’s everyone’s fuss all about? That’s the way it should be, any everyone else should be used to not getting what they want.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]And the person who says that the only way to please them is to restrict options for others is, if you ask me, the one who deserves it least.[/QUOTE]
