Oklahoma has suspended enrollment in spousal benefits for all members of the State’s national guard rather than offer those benefits to married same-sex couples. Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin announced the move in defiance of new military policy ending discrimination against gay and lesbian servicemembers. Fallin’s action forces all national guard members to enroll for benefits at federal bases rather than at state ones. That means some will have to travel hundreds of miles just to sign up.
