Obama Certifies Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

The New American: The Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative legal advocacy group, issued a statement predicting that implementation of the repeal would negatively impact the religious freedoms of Christian and other military personnel who believe that homosexual behavior is morally wrong. “Our troops’ religious liberties are in unprecedented jeopardy because the government has caved in to pressure from small groups of activists to impose homosexual and bisexual behavior on our military,” declared ADF Litigation Staff Counsel Daniel Blomberg. “The first casualty of this disappointing move may well be the religious freedom of chaplains and service members, for whom no formal protections have been adopted despite many having been proposed.”
