Navy Will Perform Same-Sex Marriages

Granted, given the location of naval bases, this is more of a symbolic gesture it is nice to see the military leading the way towards that more perfect union.

Oh well, at least there’s a reason why they are embracing their particular madness. Not to mention the crazy stuff you and I believe – or don’t.
