When Maj. Shannon McLaughlin talks about her family at work — conversations that have only been possible, at least officially, in the past five weeks following repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell" — her military colleagues often assume that because she is legally married to her spouse, Casey, in Massachusetts, she has equal access to benefits.
McLaughlin does not, however. As a result, she is now suing the federal government along with a group of married gay and lesbian service members, both currently serving and retired.
