Joe Biden performs his first marriage - between two men
Vice President Joe Biden has performed his first wedding ceremony – presiding over the “marriage” of two men. It says something about Biden as a National leader - almost the spirit anti-Christ? Biden performed the ceremony at 4 p.m. yesterday inside the vice president’s residence, located at the U.S. Naval Observatory.
Biden reportedly obtained a license from the District of Columbia before officiating the service for Brian Mosteller, the director of Oval Office operations, and Joe Mahshie, a trip coordinator for Michelle Obama.
He then tweeted out a picture of the two men holding hands as he looked on approvingly.
Biden announced his support for redefining marriage in May 2012, before Barack Obama officially changed his position on the issue, adding that the TV show “Will and Grace” had done “more to educate the American public” about homosexuality than anything else.
“The situation involving Vice President Biden and his marrying of two homosexuals gives further evidence of the decay that is occurring within the Catholic Church in America,” Judie Brown of the American Life League told LifeSiteNews. “Had the bishops, years ago, enforced church law and made it clear to Mr. Biden, among others, that public defiance of church teaching would result in denial of the reception of Holy Eucharist until such time as the Catholic in question repents of his sins of defiance, we would not today be hearing of outrages such as that exhibited by Biden.”
Joe Biden Officiates Same-Sex Wedding For White House StafferVice President Joe Biden officiated a wedding Monday for two longtime White House staffers.
The marriage of Brian Mosteller and Joe Mahshie was the first time Biden officiated a ceremony, the vice president’s office told CNN in a statement. Biden obtained a temporary certification from the District of Columbia.
“Proud to marry Brian and Joe at my house,” Biden tweeted. “Couldn’t be happier, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys.”
Mosteller serves as special assistant to the president and director of Oval Office operations. Mahshie is a trip coordinator for Michelle Obama, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The wedding was attended only by the immediate family, NBC reported. The ceremony took place at the vice president’s residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Northwest Washington.
The vice president’s tweet had more than 16,000 retweets and 50,000 likes by late Monday ― further evidence that Biden will be sorely missed when the Obama administration leaves office next year.
