Via LezGetReal, some big news on changes by the Navy -- allowing same-sex couple to marry on base --- that were pretty under-the-radar.
The changes came in the form of an April 13 advisory memo issued to all chaplains which said the Chaplain Corps was revising its Tier I DADT Repeal training manuals, which had previously indicated that same-sex marriages are not authorized on federal property.Citing "additional legal review" by Navy attorneys, the Chief of Navy Chaplains, Admiral Michael Tidd said the Navy "has concluded that, generally speaking, base facility use is sexual orientation neutral."
"If the base is located in a state where same-sex marriage is legal, then the base facilities may be used to celebrate the marriage," added Tidd.
Update from Autumn: Added thumbnail link to the cited memo.
