He’s a century old and still fabulous.

A heroic World War II veteran who bravely spoke up for gay rights in the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” era celebrated his 100th birthday with a snazzy rainbow-colored hat and matching birthday cake last month.

Rupert “Twink” Starr — an LGBTQ activist who earned a Bronze Star for his bravery during the Battle of the Bulge — threw a birthday bash with pals at his home in Columbus, Ohio, on July 16, according to reports.

At the party, the spunky centenarian wore flamboyantly decorated pink costume glasses and a hat topped with rainbows as he sat in a wheelchair and munched rainbow-colored cake.

They introduce a sexual politic in the military that destroys it.

They introduce (esp the men) serious medical issues.

And they destroy morale.

The masculine straight young men we want in Our military are not signing up. They aren’t living 24/7 with that, getting hit on, having a homo sergeant with one way to advancement etc. no.

They are destroying us.

Well, good for him. He attended WW2. Why is he worth any more attention?

Not all gays live the promiscuous lifestyle.

Doesn’t matter. Most of them do. That’s what makes the norms.

Twink has taken on a new meaning, but his last name is Starr and there is that “Twinkle, Twinkle,” song, so maybe we don’t jump to conclusions.

I was discussing the past, not the present. There wasn’t such a thing as “gay” in ancient times and almost everyone was what we would consider extraordinarily unchaste in his or her behavior. Chastity was considered a humiliation, a condition of slavery. Rape was normal. (That’s why Judaism, for example, was seen as being freakish, because unchaste behavior was discouraged and punished. However, the Bible still mentions - for example - David’s love for Jonathan. Nobody was throwing rocks at them, either.)

Yes, it’s a lot different today. This courageous cat Starr is a far cry from Brad “Chelsea” Manning, who just wants to make sure all sexually confused enlisted can get gender reassignments at government expense.

A warrior is a warrior and deserves recognition for his/her bravery and contribution to the fighting force.

If all homosexual fighters and military leaders were removed from the history books, those who study history would be left with a lot of questions. It’s not their fault the world is in such a pickle today and I feel it’s wrong to blame them.

David’s love for Jonathan? What the h?

You are taking the loving sacrificial friendship of David and Jonathan and making it a homo tryst????!

How wicked can you be.

HomosexualAgenda has been trying to claim Jonathan and David for years. That is BS. Homosexuals have decided that since they were close friends, they slept together. If David had homosexual relationships, Judaism wouldn’t celebrate him. The Torah explicitly says homosexual sex is abomination, and back then, all Jews were Ultra-Orthodox.
The fact that homosexuals don’t recognize a close male friendship is extremely strong indicator that the majority of homosexuals are homosexual because of childhood sexual molestation. That has rewritten their brains about closeness between two friends.

Starr obviously doesn’t have HIV. HIV causes accelerated aging of 14 years, plus many illnesses and accelerated death. Average age of death of HIV-infected homosexuals is 66 years. To read more about HIV-accelerated aging, check keywords hivaging and hivacceleratedaging.
