Marriage only between one man and one woman

Q: Should marriage only be between one man and one woman?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support allowing openly-gay men and women to serve in the United States military?

A: Yes.

Zaccaria adds, "Military service for soldiers of all sexual preferences should be approved only when the military command is ready for it. The problem is not in the trenches. The problem is in the religious, educational, and health systems the US Military runs worldwide. Should an ordained member of clergy who is also a military chaplain be required by order of the president to act against the spiritual teachings of the hierarchy of his or her faith? There are sticky questions to be resolved internally. When the military is ready, I'm ready."
