"Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk has served in the Air Force for 19 years, and has been stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. When he recently returned from deployment, he found that he had a new commander, who was a lesbian." "But the commander told Monk that he needed to be on the same page as she was, and that if he didn’t do so, he would be moved elsewhere. She then questioned him on whether he believes it is discrimination for a person to state that they disagree with homosexual “marriage.” He replied that he did not wish to answer because of his convictions."

From Charisma News: http://www.charismanews.com/us/40695-lesbian-commander-booted-air-force-sgt-for-beliefs-suit-claims, quote:
"Monk, a devout evangelical Christian, says he was told he wasn’t on the same page as the commander and that if he didn’t get on the same page, they would find another place for him to work. Later, the commander ordered Monk to answer the question of whether people who object to gay marriage are discriminating. Monk responded that he could not answer the way his commander wanted and feared an honest response would put him in legal trouble. At that point, Monk was relieved of his duties."
