(CNSNews.com) – Anticipating the elimination of the military ban on homosexuality, the Office of the Chief of Navy Chaplains has decided that same-sex couples in the Navy will be able to get married in Navy chapels, and that Navy chaplains will be allowed to perform the ceremonies -- if homosexual marriage is legal in the state where the unions are to be performed.
The advisory came in the form of an April 13 memo issued to all chaplains, in which the Chief of Navy Chaplains, Admiral Michael Tidd, said the Chaplain Corps was revising its Tier I training manuals, which had previously indicated that same-sex marriages are not authorized on federal property.
Some see this kind of story as just another sign of the times, and nothing more. I disagree. Yes, it is a sign of the times, but it is very significant. Elections have consequences of course, and this kind of news is to be expected, sad as it is. Maybe the next (Republican) president will have the backbone to put the kibosh on the endless social tinkering within the military on the part of liberals in Washington.
