Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk has served in the U.S. Air Force for 19 years with a clean service record. But his new lesbian commander has relieved him of duty and is threatening his career, allegedly because of his Christian beliefs regarding gay marriage. Officials are investigating as Monk appeals his punishment.
Monk was First Sergeant of the 326th Training Squadron, stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. According to his attorneys, Monk recently returned from a deployment and found he had a new commander, Maj. Elisa Valenzuela, who is openly lesbian.
Monk explained to Fox News that in one of their first meetings, Valenzuela discussed wanting a chaplain to offer a benediction, but she, “objected to one particular chaplain that she called a bigot because he preached that homosexuality is a sin.” Monk says the commander’s response was, “I don’t know what kind of people actually believe that kind of crap.”
Monk is a devout evangelical Christian, and as such he believes marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
Fox News’ Todd Starnes reported that there was an episode involving Valenzuela with an Air Force trainer discussing gay marriage. The trainer referenced the decline of the Roman Empire, and Monk explained to Shannon Bream on Fox & Friends that the trainer was lecturing on how such issues can divide society with detrimental effects.

“.......Then Valenzuela gave Monk an order, demanding Monk tell her whether he regards those who oppose gay marriage as discriminating against homosexuals.......”
She ordered him to divulge his perspective on the subject. What the Hell was he supposed to do, IGNORE THAT DIRECT ORDER?
He obviously was reluctant to express his perspective by the way he handled the situation to that point, and I think he was right in doing so, BUT she gave him an order to respond. He did as he was told, she did not like his response.
I would believe that had he stated voluntarily without the inducement of a direct order from a superior officer THEN IMO he would have been against military policy. He was setup by a hardcore activist Lesbian in a position of power.
Personal opinion is those sort of people do not belong in the military be they male, or female.
Wrong on every level...
Yes, they are, but they are Homos, not Homo’s.
Airman: “May I speak freely, Ma’am?”
Lesbian Commander: “Yes, Airman. What’s on your mind?”
Airman: “Can I watch?”
For deprivation of Constitutional/civil rights? Surely there must be some remedy, otherwise racial/gender discrimination would not be actionable.
I know Major isn’t that high, but she had to be in the AF for a while to reach that rank. I wonder about the high ranking officers and NCOs who were serving before DADT was lifted. They spent their lives/careers lying, but now that they’re quite literally out,it’s ok to just ruin the career of those to whom they’d previously lied? Is that how it’s working?

Who is “^Brietbarg” anyways???
10-12 years and our military will be all but destroyed by the homosexuals and athiests.......

...too bad you dont realize that...
Willard is the father of homosexual marriage in the US..
he made it legal back when he was gov of MASS
They have a lot more power than you think they do
We are losing a lot of really good , highly trained NCO's because of this mess too.
Either that, or they are working up to a point, where they believe all the troops will freely and willingly execute American families. You can see where this is going.
I don’t doubt it at all.
I believe that is the way Obama has it planned.
Gee,ever wonder why???
No, he didn't. The courts did.
No, the courts ordered the legislature do it and Gov Romney did it by Executive Order instead of letting the legislature take the lead.
One of the very few things i can agree with the moosies on.
Homosexuality is sick perverted and wrong.
Willard made same sex marriage legal while he was gov of MASS
he never met an immoral issue he didnt like and/or push to make legal...
