Funk said he became a conscientious objec-
tor after months of being trained to kill. Funk,
who attended anti-war rallies while absent
and later announced he was gay, argued that
he did not believe he would be ordered to San
Diego because those who declare themselves
conscientious objectors are usually separated
from their unit. If so, he argued, then he would
not have had to perform the "important duty."
Marine prosecutors argued that during
wartime, any presidential order to report for
duty is important.
There were 27 other Marines who declared
themselves conscientious objectors to the Iraq
war. Like Funk, all were transferred to New
Orleans for processing but none of the others
were prosecuted because they reported for
duty on time, the Marines said.
Of the 27, 16 were granted conscientious
objector status, Capt. Jeffrey Pool, a Marine
spokesman, said Sunday. Five were denied
and the other cases are pending.
Pool said a Marine should know that an
absence of fewer than 30 days cannot be
deemed desertion or punished with jail time.
Those who return within 30 days face nonjudi-
cial punishment instead of a special court-mar-
tial, as Funk did, Pool said.
Lance CpI. Stephen Funk was found
guilty of being away from duty without
permission for 47 days. A jury recom-
mended he be sentenced to six months
in jail and receive a bad conduct dis-
charge.
HEARING
Continued from Page 1
marriage is a key social institution for the pro-
tection of children.
Other witnesses said it is only a matter of
time before the traditional marriage definition
is challenged, particularly as states pass laws
recognizing gay marriages.
The Supreme Court recently struck down a
Texas law that made homosexual sex a crime,
overturning an earlier ruling that said states
could punish gays for having sex.
Among the opponents of an amendment
was Keith Bradkowski, the partner of Jeff
Collman, an American Airlines pilot who was
on the first of the four planes hijacked by ter-
rorists in the Sept. 11 attack.
Bradkowski said he had a committed rela-
tionship with Collman though they were
never legally able to marry. He described his
difficulties proving his relationship with
Collman after his death, such as trying to
obtain a death certificate. He said the defini-
tion of marriage should be left to the states.
"Jeff and I only sought to love and take care
of each other. I do not understand why that is
a threat to some people," he said.
"The last time I spoke with Jeff — who was
my soul mate of 11 years — was at about at 2
a.m. Boston time on the morning of the
eleventh. He had awoken in the middle of the
night and uncharacteristically called me to say
'I love you and can't wait to get home.' I
believe he must have had some premonition of
the events to come, and I feel blessed to have
had that last moment with him," Bradkowski
said.
Dale Carpenter, a gay law professor who
once headed the Texas chapter of Log Cabin
Republicans, also testified against the need for
the amendment.
Carpenter pointed out that more than 200
amendments to the constitution had been pro-
posed in the nation's 200-plus year history, but
only 17 had been adopted.
He urged the Senators not to use the consti-
tution to retool society to their liking, saying
such a move would be inappropriate. ▼
