Same with polygamy within Mormonism or Islam. Certain Protestant military chaplains had been performing same-sex weddings outside of military circles well before the demise of DADT and DOMA. There was nothing the military could do to stop it. They could not prohibit a minister from performing certain religious ceremonies just because she/he is a military chaplain nor could they compel them to perform ceremonies and rites incompatible with their religion. |
