The Navy has abruptly reversed it's new policy allowing same-sex marriages to be performed in Naval facilities in states where they are legal. Under intense pressure from over 5 dozen members of the House of Representatives, the Chief of Navy Chaplains issued a one sentence statement that his earlier decision had been "suspended until further notice pending additional legal and policy review and interdepartmental coordination." The 5 dozen House members had sent a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, expressing their dubious claim that the new policy violates the so-called Defense of Marriage Act.
As always with the gay rights movement, it's one step forward, two steps back.
