The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) praised the Pentagon’s decision to allow military chaplains to perform wedding ceremonies in states where they are legal, and performing such weddings is consistent with their faith traditions. Just days after the implementation of the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, this is an important step to preserving the religious freedomof chaplains and removing unnecessary and discriminatory barriers for our men and women in uniform.
“I applaud the Department of Defense for protecting the religious freedoms of all military chaplains,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese. “As we move into a new era of open service, today’s decision by the Department of Defense ensures that all military families, including lesbian and gay military families, have equal access to military facilities.”
