Ah - There's nothing more enchanting than a June Wedding. Lucky for us, our Navy's Chief of Chaplains is primed and ready to start Gay Weddings at your local Naval Post. Now Adam and Steve, won't have to go off-base to get hitched. They can now say the "I-Do's" all in the convenience of their home base.
Last month, RADM Mark L. Tidd issued a memorandum to all Chaplains which instructed them how to proceed with same-sex marriages for service personnel in base facilities. Among a few legal caveats, it instructs chaplains thusly:
If the base is located in a state where same-sex marriage is legal, then base facilities may normally be used to celebrate the marriage....
Matzel-tov!!!
After repeal of DADT, even if not yet final, it's a matter of time when we witness the first gay wedding in our military. But geesh - I sure won't ever think of the traditional Crossed Sabers the same way again.
Forget about playing Mendelssohn's Wedding March. That Andante Maestoso dirge is a relic of the hetero-centric world of the past. For the weddings of the futre, how about some K.D. Lang?
(Yeah - Big Boned)
Oh - If anyone wants to peruse through the aforementioned Memo, it's: HERE.

I don't supposed that there's a Village People version of your top photo.
"Armored Cavalry: Death From Behind."
Heh.
More of the creeping (and creepy!) demoralization of our country.
Just because some judges say something is legal does not make it morally right. And, those who have no morals have no right to force "normal" people to debase their behavior to the new lowest common denominator.
Disgusting, just disgusting.
Well, folks... I have no problem whatsoever with this. Gay marriage? Go for it. You can't aruge with hormones and brain chemistry. Gay marriage hurts no one, and it only serves to stabilize society. I would happily attend my friends' gay wedding. As long as we get good party favors. It's all about the party favors...
MY Navy wasn't ever run by the Village People. Oh, sure, we used them for recruiting. Some of us warned about where that my lead, but as usualy, no one listens to the blue shirts.

Thought the order was rescinded I can look to a future where there are gay weddings on-board a ship, say an aircraft carrier. The happy couple have the ceremony in the foc'shole, and once wed, walk down the red carpet to where the bosun's mates shove them through the anchor hawse pipe to their honeymoon of treading water. Hard to change thick skulls.
