They tried this sh&t in Sokor where my cousin is based, near the DMZ. They didn’t call it a ‘club”, they called it get-togethers or whatever pc crap they could think of.
That’s mentioned in the article...
If I have to read Clinton News Network, I’ll pass.
Big asteroid, up.

“We would interpret a spouse’s club’s decision to exclude a same sex spouse as sexual discrimination because the exclusion was based on the spouse’s sex.”
Lord, lawyers are STUPID. That doesn’t pass the laugh test. Whatever happened to the Defense of Marriage Act, anyway? Did it disappear through actual legal procedure, or did Obama wave it away with a flick of his wrist?
No, not because of their orientation, either. Because they don’t recognize them as spouses, which no amount of play-acting will change.

No.
...or did Obama wave it away with a flick of his wrist?
Yes. I believe the date was circa Jan. 2010. Holder was informed not to take any action regarding DOMA.

Exactly right. But they’ll err on the side of PC and assert that though it doesn’t qualify under the legal definition of “discrimination” it does anyway, because it must. So they choose “sex” because, um, gay people have sex with eachother? No, no, because they’re being discriminated against for not being women. Or not being men, if the wife is the one in the military.
Whatever else happens, death, taxes, and “sexual orientation” being officially added to the list will. No again, it must be more than that. Not merely orientation, but we must not discriminate against those who are “differently married.”
Eventually we won’t be able to discriminate at all. And what’s the opposite of discrimination. Fairness? Absolutely not. Tolerance? That’s what they’d have you think. I hate inappropriately sciency words, but the answer is: dysgeusia, or lack of taste.
“Holder was informed not to take any action regarding DOMA”
How does that translate into taking positive action to equalize the status of married and homosexually “married” couples in the military? Don’t answer. I know. Lawyers are lawyers, and the brass are bureaucrats and/or politicians.
I mean, it’s not as if you can rise through the ranks by storming redoubts anymore. Once you get to a certain level, I mean. Then it’s PC or die.
More and more each day.

The opposite of discrimination would be indiscriminate and undiscerning, both very apt descriptions of the modern liberal.
