And the social experiment within the military continues
US: military chaplains may perform same-sex unions WASHINGTON (AP) –– The Pentagon has decided that military chaplains may perform same-sex unions, whether on or off a military installation.
PLUS! After demise of ‘don’t ask,’ activists call for end to military ban on transgenders With homosexuals now able to serve openly in the military, the gay rights movement’s next battleground is to persuade the Obama administration to end the armed forces’ ban on “transgenders,” a group that includes transsexuals and cross-dressers.
“Our position is that the military should re-examine the policy, the medical regulations, so as to allow open service for transgender people,” said Vincent Paolo Villano, spokesman for the 6,000-member Center for Transgender Equality. The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), which pushed to end the military’s gay ban, is urging President Obama to sign an executive order prohibiting discrimination based on “gender identity.” |

Wait until they start forcing out the chaplains that don't want to perform the ceremony for Pfc. Slave & Sgt. Big Gay Al.

They are trying to destroy this country. No question about it.

So - did the repeal of DADT include provisions for objections on religious grounds? You are comparing apples to oranges. |

I am comparing one religious event that some chaplains prefer to not do to another religious event that some chaplains prefer not to do. No one is going to force a chaplain to do a gay "marriage", just like no one forces a chaplain to do an infant christening. The Chaplain's Corps will continue to serve the religious needs of all Soldiers, just like they always have. |

So a male soldier can wear a woman's uniform now if he identifies as a woman?

So a male soldier can wear a woman's uniform now if he identifies as a woman? Tell me this: can a person with a vagina that self identifies as a man still be banned from combat MOSs? That is the real repercussion of all of this silly shit.

Just wait and see, we'll do the same as many euro countries and get rid of the tie tab and female service caps; just standardize on wheel covers and ties. Or maybe a guy wants to wear high heels and skirt... |

Army doesn't have Female Class A's? oops, forgot about those, only time they get busted out is for the battalion christmas party, and all we've got is dudes in the Infantry so I'm not use to seeing women in Class As. someone else put out a good point, probably going to be a loophole to try and get chicks who think they are men in combat arms. Just because you THINK you are a man doesn't make you one, if I THOUGHT I was something else then I was like say a martian or a Greek god or an elephant, people would think I had a mental disorder and bar me from enlistment. |

how long before they fire chaplains who refuse to perform same sex marriges?
|
|
Quoted: Or maybe a guy wants to wear high heels and skirt... Or, more realistically, grow his hair out... When the British opened their ranks to homosexuals, they had a General show up the next day in a woman's uniform. Apparently, he was serious. That was told to me by a retired O-6. I presume it's true. |

Give it time, it's only been a few weeks. Actually, I'm surprised they just haven't just banned Chaplains yet. Religion has no place in Gov't after all. |

The U.S. Military, now with more social engineering and social test platforms.

All the conservatives are leaving the military in droves to usher in the new socialist left controlled military.

So how long til an in the closet male officer gets moved up the chain of command by a democratic administration and then comes out and starts wearing a dress. Imagine a tranny trying to inspire our troops before battle. Damn were going down hill fast.

Eventually they will ban chaplains - because chaplains are cost effective, and the government has no business being efficient.

Quoted: Eventually they will ban chaplains - because chaplains are cost effective, and the government has no business being efficient. If chaplains were enlisted you might have a case. Making them officers makes no sense at all, since they never have command authority and are noncombatants. Civilian contractors could do the job at a massive cost savings, assuming anybody in DoD would even give a shit if all chaplains disappeared overnight. |

Anyway, it seems like there are very few things that he does on a day-to-day basis that involve religion. THe modern Chaplain has largely taken on the role of unit counselor/confidant. |

What I am waiting to see is.... Whether or not this "may perform same-sex unions" turns into a "MUST perform same-sex unions" issue.
Now that the military is allowed to be openly gay and marry... what will happen if a chaplain refuses to perform the wedding due to religious beliefs Will the couple have to find another chaplain... or will the military force the chaplain or punish him or her under the UCMJ? |

And I'm sure youre right. There probably is a high ranking gay officer out there already. |

There are already religious activities that some Chaplians refuse to do without repercussion. Which activities are you talking about? And I'm asking about the marriage issue because there may be some who try to push the issue that the military is no longer allowed to discriminate based on sexual preference... they may try to push it in this direction as well. After all, one of the bigger fears with DADT being gone was that commands may be pressured to not be painted as "gay bashing", so there may be some knee-jerk reactions in the works for those who do not support this new theme. |
