Gay weddings may be performed by military chaplains, Pentagon says


The Pentagon said Friday that military chaplains may perform same-sex marriages as long as such ceremonies are not prohibited in the states where they reside.
Defense Department guidance said chaplains may participate in the ceremonies on or off military bases. But chaplains are not required to officiate at same-sex weddings if doing so is counter to their religious beliefs, the guidance said. See Washington Post
