Senators Jim Inhofe and Roger Wicker are this month's Family Advocate awardees

Senators Jim Inhofe and Roger Wicker are this month's Family Advocate awardees for service to the pro-family community.

NBC News reports: Two U.S. Senators have introduced legislation to ban same-sex marriages from occurring on military bases, following approval of a similar bill by the House of Representatives.

Sens. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., co-authored the legislation presented Tuesday that would prevent marriage or "marriage-like ceremonies" of same-sex couples at military facilities. It would also allow military chaplains to opt out of performing such a union if they object for "reasons of conscience," Inhofe's office said in a statement.
