DoD: No Spousal Benefits for Gay Partners

Regardless of the Obama administration's decision not to defend the law defining marriage as heterosexual union, the U.S. military won't be extending spousal benefits to same-sex couples, the Defense Department says.
Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan said the federal Defense of Marriage Act remains on the books and the military will continue to follow it after repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is fully implemented.
"Basically DOMA remains in effect [for the military] unless Congress repeals it or a court action strikes it down," Lapan said.
