SALMON Idaho (Reuters) - A gay veteran who was denied her wish to be buried one day with her late lesbian spouse in an Idaho military cemetery filed a lawsuit on Monday accusing the state of violating her constitutional right to equal protection by not recognizing her same-sex union.

I have known WWI veterans, WWII veterans, Korean Veterans, Vietnam Veterans, Iraq Veterans and Afghanistan veterans, but this is the first Gay veteran I have heard of.

When did we fight the Gay War?

Just like with the Mo’s, we didn’t declare war on them, they declared war on us.

This lady has been pushing hard against our Idaho law for some time. She has challenged the Idaho law defining marriage as only between one man and one woman...and the 9th District ruled in her favor.

I believe, and hope it will be turned over at the Supreme Court on appeal.

But having won that decision, she is now suing Idaho over forcing the state to give in to her demands to have her and her lesbian companion buried at Idaho’s veteran cemetery.

These people want to blatantly force the whole of society her in Idaho to recognize their deviancy as “normal.” The people as a whole here will not do that.

So, thy have to get a liberal, deviant court to support them. But the 9th district is the most overturned court in the nation at the Supreme Court level.

Why can’t they be buried together somewhere else?

they can’t be buried together somewhere else because they are trying to make their political statement, and shove this down our throats, that’s why.

Am I behind the times? I thought that gay was reserved for male homosexuals and lesbian for woman ones. As in LGBTQI which stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning and Intersex. Now gay is lesbian? Can't they just stop shifting their name calling.

The Constitution does not provide anyone with the “right” to be buried with somebody of the same sex or the opposite sex for that matter. Maybe her girlfriend should have chosen another cemetery. Surely there is a cemetery somewhere in Idaho where lesbians can be buried together without it turning into a one last “IN YOUR FACE AMERICA!” piece of deviant bull****. If being buried together was so important to them, they should have thought about that.

The shifting of terms is used as a distraction.

“Intersex”

Is that the state of being when a pervert can’t make up its mind what it wants to be?

Seriously, what is it?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think she wants to be buried on top of her “husband or wife” as it’s done in Veterans Cemeteries. Not beside her.

If I hadn't read the caption, I would have assumed this was a woman and a man.

The one on the left is the dead one.

And I would have thought they were Twins!

And the one on the left doesn’t look that bad, considering she’s dead and all.
