Christian Airman Claims He Was Fired by Lesbian Commander for Gay Marriage Stance
Breitbarg ^ | 8/25/13 | Ken Klukowski

Posted on 08/25/2013 7:10:03 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

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.

As someone else said recently, "Don't ask, Don't tell still exists in the military. Only now it applies to Christians."

Remember all those idiot politicians who said getting rid of DADT was good and proper--many even Republicans (Pat Toomey was one)? Any conservative who votes for such a politician is an idiot.

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?

hey, Romney was no Reagan but he sure the hell would have been better than this cracka we got now....too bad people didn't realize that...

If you think Romney favored DADT, you're sorely mistaken. He would not have reinstated it and said as much during the primaries. The only Republican candidate who said he would was Rick Santorum. Sorry to burst your bubble.

The Homo’s are testing the waters to see just how much power they have.

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.

There will come a time when troops will be punished for refusing to execute American families at point blank range.

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.

No, the courts ordered the legislature do it and Gov Romney did it by Executive Order instead of letting the legislature take the lead.
