NEW YORK – The Marine Corps has advised its legal staff that spouses clubs operating on its installations must admit same-sex spouses if they wish to remain on the bases.
It's a step that the other service branches have not yet announced as they grapple with how to accommodate same-sex couples following repeal of the don't ask, don't tell policy that barred gays and lesbians from serving openly.
Underscoring the challenges, the Marines' advisory -- obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press -- refers to an ongoing controversy at the Army's Fort Bragg in North Carolina where the officers' spouses club has denied admission to a same-sex spouse.
"We do not want a story like this developing in our backyard," the Marines' memo says.

Are these not private clubs for specific people? That's not equality that is bullying.

Private clubs operating on a military base. While on the military base, you must adhere to military rules on who is allowed.
The simple solution is if these "spouses clubs" are so butt hurt about it, they can move their happy arses off the base.
Why would the gay "spouses" even want to attend if they know they aren't wanted. That is stupid.
Why would the spouses clubs want to be on the base if they have to admit people they don't want? And just FYI, its SOME people that don't want to admit gays. Not every club has this issue.
That's not equality that is bullying.
Why is the military wanting to change something that has been established and accepted for years and was NEVER a problem?
Actually it WAS a problem. Now it has been solved. I'm sure countries like Iran might be more to your liking, I hear they hate gays too.
Similarly there are countries that like to give gays anything they desire that may be more to YOUR liking. Why aren't you already there considering this bend over for anything gay movement is relatively new to America.
I'm sure you've checked the polls, but there are more people that support gays than are against them. Need a plane ticket out too?

Back in the 60's were you arguing that niggers are ridiculous thinking they should be able to sit in the front of the bus? They just want everything now don't they? How dare these people think they have the same rights as me!
What I have noticed, after all of the griping back during the 60's, blacks still seem to want to sit in the back of the bus.
It's not the military who's forcing change.
There have been a lot of changes with in the military over the past 4 1/2 years while President Obama "Redefines the purpose and character of the U.S. military." Political activist booths on military installations with a drag queen side show. Gender friendy toilets. Mass shootings on "gun free zone" military installations just to name a few.
It's left wing agitators who are causing problems with in the military that didn't exist some years ago.
At least you're funny. They should have a choice, just like gays, to live their lives with the same benefits, equality, opportunities, as any other average person.
I actually knew and know and spoke to blacks who lived during the 50's and 60's in the urban cities of the South who were forbidden from riding in the front of a bus or where they could sit when eating a sandwich. I listen to them.
But I don't listen to white leftist agitators, the majority who never lived in the South back during the era of the Jim Crow Laws always rubbing salt into the wounds and thinking they are the spoke holes for all black Americans.
