WASHINGTON – On the same day that President Barack Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage, the House Armed Services Committee backed measures prohibiting the practice on U.S. military bases.

The panel stepped into the gays in the military issue as it considered a sweeping, $642 billion defense bill for next year that buys new weapons, ships and aircraft, increases military pay by 1.7 percent and sets policies for the Pentagon. The committee worked through the day Wednesday and into the early morning Thursday on the legislation that adds billions of dollars to the president's budget request.

good, since there can be no such thing as a homosexual “marriage”

Just keeping the government out of the bedroom — like we ALL seem to only want when we have a Republican president.

It just bans the ceremonies there, not SS married from being on base.

What about housing on military base that is specifically for families? Now that would hurt (them).

No big deal - EVEN IF this were to reach the oval office, Zero will just issue a signing statement stating that he has determined this provision to unconstitutional. Remember the prohibition on funding Czars? What did the GOP do about that signing statement? chirp, chirp

[pfflier]

As it should be.
