US: Louisiana National Guard follows Texas in allowing same-sex couples to register for benefits
The Louisiana National Guard has followed Texas in saying that it will immediately allow same-sex couples register for benefits.
The National Guard in the state announced on Tuesday that it was to allow the benefits. The National Guard in Texas last week announced the same. Both states will now be in compliance with a Defense Department directive to allow benefits to same-sex couples.
The National Guard in Texas made the same announcement last Tuesday.
They had declined to carry out the directive from the Pentagon to allow all couples, straight or gay, equal benefits.
All Texas National Guard units will immediately process applications from same-sex couples.
