WASHINGTON — The Association of Brag Officers Spouses at Fort Bragg in North Carolina has added sexual orientation to its nondiscrimination policy and offered Ashley Broadway, married to Lt. Col. Heather Mack, a full membership in the organization.The group previously had offered Broadway a "guest membership" while it was reviewing its bylaws. In December, her request for membership had been denied, but then the group said it would review its membership policies.Broadway celebrated the news Friday night, saying in a statement, "I am overjoyed to see ABOS's inclusion of 'sexual orientation' in their non-discrimination clause. I have further reason to take pride in the Ft. Bragg military community, knowing that we, as military spouses, are able to come together to support each other, our soldiers, and our families."The American Military Partner Association, of which Broadway is an officer, had been supportive of her efforts to join the club."This is an example of the direction in which our military continues to progress. However, without immediate action from the Pentagon and the White House, same-sex military spouses are still not only at risk of exclusion from private spouse clubs, but are still excluded from other types of crucial family support and vitally needed military benefits and support services," Stephen Peters, president of the partners association, said.
really last 2 week you were out in the cold rejected like you had leprosy and fewer then 2 weks you're cured and all's well in Armyville?
As Peters noted, the Fort Bragg issues raised questions about the ongoing treatment by the military of servicemembers with same-sex partners. The Army and Pentagon had concluded that, under a policy issued before the end of "don't ask, don't tell," the Army could continue to allow the officers spouses group to meet on the installation even if it continued to deny Broadway membership.
like republicans even if you change you're stance it most likely will not include your sentiment, and the beat goes on.
