Peace Corps Anti-Gay? Op-Ed Piece

Spent some time last week finally reading the many magazines that have been accumulating unread over the past two months. In one of my Advocates I came across an article about a gay couple who wanted to quit their jobs and join the Peace Corps in order to help with disaster relief after the tsunami, only to find out that the Corps won't recognize them as a couple and would very likely not honor their request to be placed together.

How screwed up does the world have to be when an important world-aiding organization like the Peace Corps has the chutzpah to descriminate against a gay couple who want to help out? You'd think it would be more important to have more bodies helping the needy than to make sure those bodies aren't pairing their genitals up in matchings decidedly non-hetero.

Shame.
