I was waiting for an article like this and once again FR doesn't disappoint.

...In what is presented as a "civil rights" breakthrough, service men and women with same sex attraction will soon be able to openly declare that acting on those sexual desires identifies who they are as persons.

I'm sure many FReepers were waiting for homosexuality to be yoked to civil rights. Personally, I see a glaring difference between blacks who wanted to serve in the military and homosexuals.

Blacks who wanted to serve simply wanted to be seen as soldiers, soldiers who wanted to prove that they were as capable as thier white counterparts.

Homosexuals want to emphasize and proclaim their lifestyle; it isn't so much about civil rights as it is about forcing the military to accept a life style that is bound to destroy morale, cohesiveness, and readiness.

There is a huge difference between the two.

If I were a black man in America, I would resent gays piggybacking on real civil rights issues.

As Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson says:

“I know many former gays. I don’t know any former Blacks. It is not a civil rights issue.”

Spot on.

I read earlier today Joe Lieberman sponsored a bill to have sodomy removed from the UCMJ.

Law of Unintended Consequences:

Do male members get to just say no to gay urinalysis observers?

Imagine the Navy Ball (or others) when same sex start dancing/making out during a slow dance.

Would you take a blood transfusion from a gay service member?

Imagine when one gets captured by our muzzie friends!

etc, etc, etc

“THE UCMJ STANDS AND AS LONG AS IT DOES SAILOR/SUCKER (OR WHATEVER YOU ARE MOON) IT BETTER BE ENFORCED!!!!!!”

“Major Mark A. Smith,USA,Retired”

MAJ Smith....I’m sorry to report sir that the DoD has a plan in place to specifically amend the UCMJ to remove the sodomy provisions. It was part of the DoD report that was used by RINOs as cover to repeal DADT.

I believe we are worse off to the point that only a miracle from God can save us now. The end times are unfolding before our eyes.

Homosexuality is a behavior and a bad behavior at that. If left unchecked, it lead to spiritual and physical death and destruction of the person. It is ridiculous it is equated with things like gender and race...things that people are which have nothing to do with behavior.

Will someone correct me if I am wrong but has there EVER been a behovior that is explicitly proscribed in the Bible as SIN that has been “normalized” by the U.S. gummint? Isn’t this a FIRST?

Thou shalt not kill.

I don’t care if homosexuality is learned or genetic or a combination of both.

No different than a leg-humping dog. It may be an urge certain dogs have, but it is unacceptable and should be discouraged and shamed.

I would go so far as saying we see with this, more evidence that a state religious establishment is being imposed upon the people -a clear violation of the Constitution.

These leftist religious zealots are abortion, homosexual, and immoral Christian hating taliban that have corrupted and coerced the government into doing their bidding.

In addition to eradicating religion form public discourse thay as well seek to do away with and conscience protections. Not only will they force their evil upon individuals. they as well will force individuals to participate in it or face penalty...
