Laws allowing same sex marriage
The Air Force allowed the man to follow his religious RIGHTS and found someone who agreed to sign the appreciation. No one was harmed and everyone is happy. You don't like that?
Was this certificate signed by someone who had authority to sign it and was the spouse appropriately honored? I found nothing in this article to suggest that this took place and the airman's spouse was not slighted.
Also, people need to spell out WHICH Christian sect/denomination this Bohannon follows. Otherwise it sounds like all Christians feel the same about this issue, which is a lie.
All that matters is this Christian believes the Biblical definition of marriage, which is his Constitutional right.
No. That is definitely NOT all that matters. What matters EQUALLY is whether or not this airman and his husband received the honors due at this event.
The problem with you "Christian" types is that you think that you are the only ones who count and deserve special rules.
That said, to which sect/denomination does this guy belong? Not all Christians are into this sort of thing, and use of the generic term "Christian" makes it appear to the public that all adherents of the Christian faith would endorse this sort of behavior.
What I find most disturbing is that this guy was a commander and then general. Should we now worry that people placed in high-level vital military jobs will subordinate the conduct of their official duties to the dictates of whatever religion they happen to be? The idea that every service member has a Constitutional right to refuse to do something s/he doesn't want to do opens up a whole new can of worms.
And I remember the days that conscientious objects were jailed or forced to flee to Canadia, and this was back in the days when people were involuntarily conscripted. No one mollycoddled them.
