Oh yea, sorry. Aren't gays allowed to join the military? Well, maybe gays could goto a state where gay marriages are accepted, get married and move back to where they came. With hospital visits, why don't gays just lie to the receptionist and tell em they're family and if that doesn't work ask for a supervisor. I'm sure if its someone you cared very dearly of then they wouldn't hold you back from them, and if they did then WTF. Inheritance, this college professor lived nxt to this widow and cared for her. The widow had nobody and when she passed away, gave the professor the house she lived in along w/ 20acres of land in a will. There's ways to work around the system, look at Ponzi, Dilauded

Yea, its as big a problem today as it was back during slavery and all inbetween slavery. But its still a problem that's been going on most of America's existance. its a valid topic, but I don't think its something I'd enjoy talking about all day.

When I mentioned inheritance, I was talking about people who haven't drawn up a will. And yes, gays are technically allowed in the military as long as they don't tell anyone their sexuality, which in itself is a bullshit law. As far as gay marriage goes, many states refuse to recognize gay marriages even if the people got married in a state where it's legal. That means that, for example, if one partner died, the other wouldn't get to collect their life insurance.

You could, but I don't know if you'd win. Maybe if you appealed it all the way to the Supreme Court, you'd win.

That's a sticky topic.
I am straight and I have nothing against gay people. Whoever you want to hang out with, fuck, and spend your life with, is your business and I don't care. BUT, our military is an organization that needs to be ready at a moments notice to defend our country. If our military has low morale, then it will not do a good job. There are a lot of people in America(and in the military) that look down upon homosexuality. If they were to be serving next to gay people, it might bother them so much that their performance could be affected.
Let's face it, if gays were allowed to openly serve in the military, a lot of problems would arise. We need to wait until homosexuality is more accepted before we allow "out of the closet" gays to serve. The military is not an organization that should be used for social experimentation, no matter how noble the intentions are.
As far as gay marriage goes, many states refuse to recognize gay marriages even if the people got married in a state where it's legal. That means that, for example, if one partner died, the other wouldn't get to collect their life insurance.
I was under the impression that whoever you named as your life insurance beneficiary got the life insurance, and it didn't matter who it was(spouse, co- habitator, child, friend, aqcuaintence, etc..).

That's correct.

I know what you're saying about straight people in the military being bothered by gays, but when President Truman racially integrated the military, many white guys in the military were bothered by black people. Still, they had orders and they followed them.

Hey, here's an even better idea! Why don't they just change the fucking laws?

Well, in theory it's possible to find a way around it, but it's not really feasible for everyone.
It's fucking stupid not to change things.
