The Air Force Gets it Right on Same-sex Marriage

[Penelope]

The Col can pray 24/7 and go to church everyday, no one is stopping him.

 

[Lysistrata]

He didn't discriminate against his subordinate BECAUSE OF HIS SEXUAL ORIENTATION. That is a dastardly lie. He discriminated because of his subordinate's open and notorious endorsement and practice of immoral sexual conduct (by being married to someone of the same gender).

It is only considered "immoral sexual conduct" by some people in some religious groups. Apparently this airman was not a member of this particular group. This Bohannon needs to decide whether he wants to continue his military career or become some sort of civilian clergy.

"Free exercise thereof" doesn't cease when you put on a uniform. This is why we have a Constitution, to keep leftist fascists on a leash.

Please re-read my post. By its treatment of Bohannon, the USAF has opened the door to the unlimited free exercise by all of those in uniform of all rights secured by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Well, that's one narrow minded way of looking at it. The Air Force chose to not to punish the American citizen who is a Christian. No one got their rights trampled on. No one was forced to do something they didn't believe in. Once again a few posters here proved my point. It's not about rights. It's about forcing the Christian to submit. Go to hell.

you mean due to judgement of others?

What is it about the First Amendment "free exercise thereof" that you don't understand?

Nothing, no one is making the Col engage in homosexual acts. His judgement will be his ruin.

Nope. The Air Force solved the problem. Case closed.

Evidently not

How do you figure the case isn't closed?

What a stupid comment. As I just said, the Bohannon case has provided a much- expanded opportunity for those in uniform to enjoy their Constitutional rights. How would this be hating the Constitution? Bohannon is just one guy. There are millions of people out there.

Here we go again. How can you be this dumb? Some people calling themselves "Christians" have banded together to behave like assholes and try to cover it up with the brand name. They are trying to substitute a cheap knock-off for the Christian brand.

Oh yeah, the Christians are assholes because they take a stand and won't submit to your filthy perversion. Too bad. Suck it up, buttercup.

So you somehow think citizens lose their constitutional rights when they work for the state? Unbelievable stupidity.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Why is there even a certificate of appreciation for spouses? Refuse to sign it and say "there was nothing about this person I appreciate. " there you go.

Signing a certificate of appreciation is an admission that you support same sex marriage

They are turning out to be just like their other patriarchal religion fellow travelers...the moooslims.

You suck it up, cutie. You don't seem to understand that this guy's views are no more important than those of any other person's, and the USAF has now put its operations under the Bohannon Rule: anyone who doesn't want to do something because it offends his or her beliefs, or who wishes to exercise any other of his or her rights guaranteed by the First Amendment now may not be subject to military discipline. It is now stuck with the precedent that was set in this case. This case has greatly expanded the rights of service members in a way that we never before thought possible.

You also don't seem to understand that "Christians" like him do not represent the entire Christian community.

P.S. nobody demanded that this guy have sex of any sort.

 

[jillian]

This is the way to handle these cases. If someone won't participate due to religious convictions, find someone who will. Live and let live.
Air Force clears colonel who refused to endorse same-sex spouse

shocking that the Air Force would protect their guy

the law doesn't allow that colonel to do that regardless of what the wacko bigot wants.

that's going to be a continued law suit. don't get too happy.

And he doesn't have to do it. There is nothing official about a certificate of appreciation.
