Montana high court: Gay couples are equal
The Montana Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that the state constitution’s equal protection guarantees extend to gays, requiring the state university system to offer the same health benefits to unmarried same sex partners as to heterosexual partners. The decision reversed a 2002 ruling, not addressing gay marriage. The suit began when University of Montana denied coverage for lesbian partners of two employees.

Pentagon eyes Navy carrier retirement in 2006 defense plan
The Pentagon weighs cutting the Navy fleet by retiring one of 12 aircraft carriers to save costs and reduce new LPD 17 ships. The USS John F. Kennedy, homeported at Mayport near Jacksonville, could be decommissioned early though the plan remains unsettled. Senator Nelson criticizes reducing carriers during wartime while Gov. Jeb Bush and other Florida officials were briefed.
