Marine Commandant: Marines May Allow Straight Soldiers to Live Separately from Gays Over ‘Moral Concerns’Back in March, Marine Corps Commandant General James Conway said that he wants separate quarters for gay troops: ”I would not ask our Marines to live with someone that is homosexual if we can possibly avoid it.”Yesterday, in a Pentagon briefing, Conway reiterated that sentiment:On a different, but related subject, Conway suggested that if the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” law is repealed, the Marines may consider allowing Marines not to share quarters with homosexuals.Conway said the Marines may make such housing arrangements “voluntary” to accommodate any “moral concerns.” He said many Marines are “very religious” and because of their moral concerns “don’t want to room” with homosexuals.But Conway stressed that if the law is repealed, the Marines would take the lead in implementing it. “We cannot be seen as dragging our feet. We’ve got two wars to fight. We’ll implement it and move on,” said Conway.You may recall that in July, when the first troop survey went out, there was concern about language that referred to “facilities adjustments” and Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell tried to allay those concerns:“…we’re asking these questions because in our engagements with the force thus far, this has been an area of some concern. Now we need to test it to see if that holds for—if it really reflects the concerns of the force, and which members of the force. Is it older members? Is it younger members? Are they, you know—which ones? And, and then along with this information, the working group will make some recommendations about how to deal with those concerns. It could be, as I said, who knows? This could be dealt with through education programs, through training programs, or it may require ‘facilities adjustments.’ But no one, no one is considering ’separate but equal’ bathing or living facilities for you know, gay and straight troops. That’s just not ever a consideration. Absolutely off the table.”As for “facilities adjustments,” Morrell told CBS he meant things like shower curtains.Sounds like Conway is talking about more than shower curtains
For all you GLEE lovers out there…
Glee’s Kurt Hummel to Date Star QuarterbackJane Lynch basically confirmed that, as suspected, Chord Overstreet has been cast as Kurt Hummel’s boyfriend on Glee.Marc Malkin reports:“They’ve cast him already,” Jane Lynch told us last night at the Audi and Chopard Emmy party when we asked about Kurt’s much-anticpiated love interest. “He becomes the new star quarterback and he’s going to be Kurt’s boyfriend.”While Lynch said she couldn’t remember the name of the actor who is playing Kurt’s beau, she described the lucky guy as “a good looking kid.”“He’s tall, boyish with straight blonde hair and big fat, pouty lips,” she said.Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States. It focuses on a high school show choir (a modern glee club) called “New Directions”, at the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, OhioThe new GLEE season begins Sept. 21.

Child of lesbian parents denied enrollment to school
By Celeste Lavin, 365gay.com
Jill and Tracy Harrison were not allowed to enroll their daughter, Olivia, in the St. Vincent’s School in Bedford, TX.Send / ShareAdd CommentIn June the Harrisons applied to enroll Olivia in the school. On the application, they crossed out the word “father” and instead indicated that Olivia has two mothers, according to MSNBC. When the mothers attended parents’ night on Tuesday, just a week before the first day of school, they were told that Olivia could not enroll in the school because her mothers were a lesbian couple.“I am horribly disappointed. In fact, we are in the 21st century and we are still dealing with this issue. We should just move on. Denying my daughter education based on who I end up sleeping with at the end of the day makes me furious,” said Jill.The school is associated with the Anglican Church, a change since it recently parted its ties with the Episcopal Church.The Episcopal Church is facing a split, as some dioceses are accepting of gays and lesbians, and some are not. The Episcopal Church selected openly gay Gene Robinson to be a bishop in 2003. It is considered the only mainstream church to have ever selected an openly gay bishop who was not celibate.“It’s hard to believe that a place that’s supposed to take in and teach children about God and the basics of religion would actually discriminate against her because of who we are,” said Tracy.We are a church affiliated with the Anglican Church in North America, and it is their policy that we don’t provide services to individuals or families that do not behave properly. We’re going off our canons that say ‘The Anglican Church in North America affirms our Lord’s teaching that the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is in its nature a union permanent and lifelong of one man and one woman,” said Kenneth Monk, head of the school.The Harrison’s were refunded their application fee and enrolled Olivia in a secular school where same-sex parents are okay.
