White House Wants to Force Chaplains to Perform Same-Sex ‘Ceremonies’

The Obama administration “strongly objects” to provisions in a House defense authorization bill that would prohibit the use of military property for same-sex “marriage or marriage-like” ceremonies, and protect military chaplains from negative repercussions if they refuse to perform a same-sex marriage ceremony or other duties that violate their consciences.
The White House Office of Management and Budget recommends that President Obama veto the authorization bill if its cumulative effects “impede the ability of the Administration to execute the new defense strategy and to properly direct scarce resources.”
The veto warning is not specifically linked to the two provisions dealing with marriage, but they are listed among parts of the bill that the administration finds objectionable.
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
