Just curious: What will DOMA decision mean for federal employees, military families, etc... [View all]
Just curious, what exactly will be the effects of the DOMA decision on say a gay, married federal employee who gets transferred to a state which does not recognize his marriage? Could he or she request not to transfer due to the discrimination they could face?
What about gay military members and military families? What if they are placed in or transferred to a military base that is in a state that does not recognize marriage? What about bases overseas where families live with them, say in Europe? If they were married in a gay marriage state, is their relationship recognized and family housing offered? The same, I suppose, could be said of overseas jobs for non military Federal jobs.
Any opinions? Thoughts? Points? It certainly is interesting to think about.
