First same-sex marriage at West Point’s Cadet Chapel

Roundabout Via Carl

 

The first same-sex marriage at West Point’s Cadet Chapel will be celebrated Saturday – when a military veteran and her partner exchange vows roughly one year after President Obama ended the military policy banning openly gay people from serving in the military.

The ceremony will take place in the Military Academy's Cadet Chapel between Brenda Sue Fulton and Penelope Dara Gnesin.

Fulton is a military veteran and spokeswoman for Outserve – an advocacy group for actively serving gay, lesbian and bisexual military personnel, reported first by USA Today.

West Point hosted its first same-sex marriage last weekend, but it was a private ceremony at a smaller campus venue.

    1. Seeing the Cross on the right makes it even worst.

  2. I'm glad my Army father and Army grandfather are no longer here to see this and I'm glad I'll join them sooner rather than later. Your tax money at work.
