The head of the Marine Corps, Gen. James Conway, reiterated his position Tuesday that straight Marines might be allowed to elect separate living quarters from gays if "don't ask, don't tell" is repealed.
According to an MSNBC report of the briefing at the Pentagon, "Conway said the Marines may make such housing arrangements 'voluntary' to accommodate any 'moral concerns.' He said many Marines are 'very religious' and because of their moral concerns 'don't want to room' with homosexuals."
But Conway also said the Marines would move quickly to implement repeal if the law was lifted. "We cannot be seen as dragging our feet. We've got two wars to fight. We'll implement it and move on," he said.
