in that fashion any more, and good thing.

Military chaplains have ALWAYS been allowed to refuse to marry two people, so that's not a change. Chapels are "multi-use" facilities, and a person can reserve the chapel without having to have a priest/minister/rabbi/imam to "go with."

There will be enough military chaplains to go around at larger bases--there will always be one, I think, who will be sufficiently doctrinally liberated to be able to manage the task, or people can do what is becoming increasingly popular nowadays--get a parent, friend, other loved one to get a "license for a day," and have them act as the officiant.

I've been to five weddings very recently where the best man was a brother, parent or friend.

Like I mentioned in another thread, the religions are clubs and members must follow the rules. That's why churches will not be forced to marry people. It's a fake controversy.

Freeper types are outraged they have to live in a world with gay people.
