The Washington Times notes that having ‘won’ the right to be openly homosexual in the US military, homosexual advocates are now pressing the military for more — as predicted.

Aubrey Sarvis, director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network…identified 11 benefits that he says the law permits if regulations are changed, including military family housing, access to commissaries and exchanges, marriage and family counseling, legal aid and joint duty assignments.

He also is seeking a change in the rules for courts-martial so that gays cannot be compelled to testify against their spouses, the same right heterosexual couples have.

Mr. Sarvis also wants the military to issue ID cards to gay spouses so they may enter military bases without their military spouses as escorts.

More significantly, however, is a change the military specifically reassured military members it was not making:

the advocacy group wants the Defense Department to add the words “sexual orientation” to nondiscrimination rules and to draft regulations to ensure that homosexuals “will be treated with respect and dignity.”

This wording would elevate homosexuals to a “protected class,” something the military said would not be done.

The groups also want the military to actively recruit homosexuals, just like ‘other minorities.’

…wants the military to target gays for recruitment as it does blacks, Hispanics and women, and have military representatives attend gay pride events.

The Pentagon has said it does not plan to track the number of gays in the ranks, as it does other minorities.

The end of the policy known as “DADT” was, naturally, the beginning.
