If you visited the popular social news website  reddit.com today you may have noticed the not-so subtle change to their logo:

Thanks reddit for recognizing that a lot of us are unhappy today too. Please send them feedback and let them know you appreciate their support.

I wonder if any other businesses out there are unhappy with today’s decision (hello Google, are you listening?).  If you run across anything please leave them in the comments section.

This Memorial day let’s take a moment to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Without their courage and valor we would most certainly not have the freedoms we enjoy today.

But for the LGBT servicemembers who also gave their lives, their service and sacrifice are seldom recognized in the context of who they were. Today I would like to extend a special tribute and thanks to them, for serving in a military and protecting a nation that would so often prefer they did not exist.

Last year I created the Worthy of Sacrifice Project to capture the stories of the LGBT servicemembers who served but never came home, as told by the families, friends and partners they left behind. It was my intention to document those stories ensure that those who served were never forgotten, and to show their sacrifice was no less worthy because of who they were and who they loved.

Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen discussed Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell on This Week with George Stephanopoulous. The Admiral hopes to “avoid a polarizing debate” on the controversial policy. Watch:

Secretary of State Hillary  Clinton is preparing to release a memo soon advocating equal benefits to all State department employees. Some of the passages from the memo include…

“Historically, domestic partners of Foreign Service members have not been provided the same training, benefits, allowances and protections that other family members receive. These inequities are unfair and must end.”

“Providing training, medical care and other benefits to domestic partners promote the cohesiveness, safety and effectiveness of our posts abroad.”

“It will also help the department attract and retain personnel in a competitive environment where domestic partner benefits and allowances are increasingly the norm for world-class employers.”

“At bottom, the department will provide these benefits for both opposite-sex and same-sex domestic partners because it is the right thing to do.”

The memo which was obtained by AP has not yet been made public. Any policy changes will not take effect immediately however as they are  subject to an inter-agency review before being implemented. Currently, domestic partners are been denied benefits because of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which does not permit the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages.
