Gays in the military didn't want to have to hide, so Obama is doing away with "don't ask, don't tell." But that's not enough for them. Now we are faced with navy chaplains performing same-sex marriages. It's not just about tolerance; it's about sanctioning perversion.
The chaplains will be trained under new guidelines that go along with the abolition of "don't ask, don't tell." My first thought was that the Defense of Marriage Act, which Obama has said we're just going to ignore from now on, would prohibit performing same-sex marriages. But Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said that the Act does not restrict the types of ceremonies a chaplain may perform in a chapel on a military base. Isn't it a bit illogical for the federal government to be establishing a marriage it doesn't legally recognize?
Even if a marriage is performed, the spokesperson says, same-sex partners would not get any health, housing or other benefits that are provided to married couples involving a man and woman. Yeah, right, -- for now. Remember when this thing started, gays just wanted to serve in the military -- that's all. Then they just wanted to be able to come out of the closet -- that's all. Now they want military personnel to marry them -- that's all. Sure, I believe it.
