The topic of same-sex unions and military service concerns the government treatment or recognition of same-sex unions (including same-sex marriages, civil unions, domestic partnerships or cohabitation) who may consist of at least one servicemember of a nation's military. ==Overview== The issue of recognition is usually predicated upon two pre-existing or debated criteria: # that same-sex unions are recognized or conferred legitimacy in the country or at some subdivision level of a nation's government # and that homosexuals and bisexuals can openly serve in the military without being punitively removed from service on the basis of their sexual orientation or conduct. If both criteria are fulfilled, the question becomes a matter of how many rights, liberties or benefits are conferred by a military upon same-sex spouses of military servicemembers. Such stipulations include: * Military housing provisions * Military base security access clearance * Insurance benefits * Pensions * Hospital visitation * Inheritance and intestacy * Custody or adoption of dependents * Taxes * Educational benefits * Employment benefits * Attendance of military social events * Spousal registration and identification * Retirement benefits for both spouses, even after a post-retirement divorce 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Same-sex unions and military policy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
