Chaplains predicted to resist ?gay?-ban repeal: Opponents demanding hearings from House Republicans

By ADF Alliance Alert

Brian Fitzpatrick writes at WorldNetDaily: Though they may be involved in implementing DADT repeal training, and their ministries will be directly affected, the chaplains still have no idea what the training will consist of, said Alliance Defense Fund attorney Daniel Blomberg. ADF, a defender of civil and religious liberties, represents both military chaplains and endorsers. "I have not heard anything regarding specifics," said Blomberg. "A pastor would be free to preach his beliefs about homosexuality, according to the Pentagon, but you don't know what a chaplain can do in a counseling situation or an ethical situation. Could a chaplain refuse to allow a married homosexual couple to participate in counseling for married couples, or refuse to hire a homosexual to be a children's church teacher? None of these issues are being answered, and that's a real problem."
