1 Corinthian 11

Read the whole 1 Cor 11 and you will see that the veil was not an issue.
11In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. 13Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

Woman was given her hair as her covering so it does not really refer to a veil.

My source, http://www.tektonics.org/uz/veilwear.html, differs. Although I'm sure we both agree that women and men are equal in God's eyes and purpose.
