Texas, Miss. National Guards won’t give same-sex benefits at some sites, cite gay-mar

Where clearly you are not. Analogies to giving your buddy your last dime but you won't marry him are not the question here. Marrying your car is not the question here. There are two human beings who want the same rights as other human beings. They are US citizens. They or one of the two human beings wears a uniform, whether it be one weekend a month or every day of their life. The fact that those two human beings have decided that they want to be joined together under their god/state or whatever their belief has nothing to do with any argument you have presented. Equality is the question here.

Equality should never be the question.

Seeing as how same-sex couples cannot be married in those states, they wouldn't be eligible for benefits anyway. What's the problem?

The State doesn't need to give them state benefits, but the Federal government agreed to give them Federal benefits and that paperwork needs to be filled out and submitted.

Let me guess, you believe blacks shouldn't marry whites? Irish shouldn't marry Italians? Should Catholics not marry Jews?

That is the same prejudice that you are applying to the homosexual community.

2A. Read it. Not special. Endowed by our creator. As in God given. As in part of the US constitution and more over the Bill of Rights.

Um my mom was Irish, dad was Italian.
Niece is married to a black guy.
My ex wife was part Jew.
So there. Your analogy is all screwed up.

So you understand the prejudices these groups have seen yet you apply them to another group?
