Bah: Navy reverses itself on gay marriages on military bases

scarlet_bee: So there's this Anti-Homosexuality bill due to be voted on in Uganda on the 13th, which includes the death penalty for homosexuality.
There's a petition against it here, which has over 1.5million signatures on it so far - they're hoping to get to 2 million. Apparently last time this came up in 2009 it was shelved after international condemnation, as the president of Uganda said it had become a foreign policy issue.

Reads more like they're reversing themselves in concern about Congressional reaction. I understand the House Armed Services Committee is busily making sure the President can't reduce our nuclear weapons stockpile, for instance, over DOD objections.
