ACLU challenging half-pay for discharged gays

(because he's only half a man ggg)


ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The ACLU is suing the government on behalf of a gay former Air Force sergeant who says he did not get full separation pay after he was forced out under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
Former Air Force Staff Sgt. Richard Collins says he only wants what is given to other military veterans who leave involuntarily.

The Air Force paid Collins, who was stationed at an eastern New Mexico air base, $12,351 instead of the expected $25,702 when he was honorably discharged in March 2006 after nine years in the service.

The Department of Defense has a list of conditions that trigger an automatic reduction in separation pay, including homosexuality or homosexual conduct. That policy went into effect in 1991, two years before "don't ask, don't tell."
