That city has a law prohibiting discrimination against gays. The Marines discriminate against gays. So, they essentially told them that they are not welcome, because they are breaking their law.

Until the Marines can demonstrate why they should prefer convicted felons, thugs, illiterates, and Sabbath-breakers over well-qualified gays (which they do), then IMHO, the city has a reasonable law.

I'd vote the same way, if I was there.
