Report: Up To 80 Airmen At Lackland Air Force Base Subjected To Threats And Punishment For Their Personal Beliefs On Gay Marriage
Evangelical Christian airmen at Lackland Air Force Base are facing severe threats and retribution for their religious beliefs and some personnel have been ordered to publicly express their position on gay marriage.
“There is an atmosphere of intimidation at Lackland Air Force Base,” said Steve Branson, the pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. “Gay commanders and officers are pushing their agenda on the airmen. There is a culture of fear in the military and it’s gone to a new level with the issue of homosexuality.”
Branson tells me at least 80 airmen attended a private meeting at the church where he heard them voice their concerns about religious hostilities at the Air Force base. It was a standing-room only crowd.
“The religious persecution is happening,” the pastor said. “It’s getting bigger every day. Gay and lesbian airmen can talk about their lifestyle, but the rest have to stay completely quiet about what they believe.”
Among those at the church meeting was Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk. The 19-year veteran was punished after he refused to tell his lesbian commander his position on gay marriage. I was the first reporter to tell his story.

The progressives, the left cannot stand that anyone has any religious beliefs or differs in opinion. And are supposed to be lock step on every issue with the progressives. The democrat party should just change them name to progressives since that is what they are.

When the military becomes a laboratory for social experimentation, we are doomed...

Contacted someone in the know of what's going on at Lackland AFB. Seems it's politically motivated commanders behind this. Not all officers have the integrity of a Lt. Col Alan West.
