I had some conflicting thoughts on the repeal of DADT and I did not blog that much whether pro or con as to it. However that is it repealed so the implementations problems and challenges can no longer be so easily swept aside. They will have to be dealt with.
I might post on other aspects of this debate (NOTICE THE BISEXUAL WORD IS GONE AGAIN JUST GAY AND STRAIGHT) but I want to hit again on the part I have blogged on. That is the Chaplain religious liberty issue and how that is a tough spot for all.
Get Religion has and DADT last rites; chaplaincy questions (again) .
Now one can say hey what is the big deal. You no doubt have lets say Seventh Day Adventist Chaplains that are in major conflict with theology wise with their Catholic troops for instance.
The problem is I think we understand those disagreement and make room for them. While Seventh Day Adventist arguments over other Churches are huge no one would call it HATE SPEECH.
One sense with the debate as to issues such as gay marriage that many people view opposition to gay marriage or homosexual acts as INDEED HATE SPEECH. See Apple and the recent controversy on the Manhattan Declaration app. So it is indeed a problem that is going to have to be worked out.
