The US Congress is once again debating this fifteen year old bill, and again the religious nut jobs are in full throttle. Again they claim that having openly serving gays will disrupt unit cohesiveness, will create untold problems, but what they don’t get, that shit didn’t work in the late 1940′s and 1950′s either when they tried to deny blacks from serving in mixed units.  Racism Never Works.

Among the most arresting debates Wednesday came when Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., a first-term congressman and the only Iraq war veteran in Congress, accused a witness of implying that U.S. service members weren’t professional enough to handle serving with homosexuals. (source – CBS News)

In some ways, I would agree. Americans really don’t seem willing to accept change, or people who are different very easily. I would call that racism, but then I am not politically correct. Course all those who oppose homosexuals, do so out of a deep moral conviction, a deep religious belief. They seem to forget, that as all man is created by HIM, that even us nasty queers are HIS CHILDREN.

So now, they have come up with a new one. They claim that allowing us Queers to openly serve, and because we are such horny persuasive people, the incidents of HIV INFECTION will rise Dramatically among the US Military Personnel.

Donnelly contended that if the law were repealed the number of HIV-positive service members would probably increase.

Rep. Vic Snyder, D-Ark., a Vietnam veteran and medical doctor, called that comment “so inappropriate” and suggested that Donnelly advocate for the military to recruit only lesbians, who he said have a low incidence of HIV. (source – CBS News)

You gotta love these hypocrites. To begin with, HIV is not restricted to just Gay Men, just as Gonorrhea or Syphilis aren’t restricted to single straight heterosexuals. Then again, I suppose this is all part of the secret Gay Agenda, to infect straight soldiers with HIV, so we can make them all Gay too. What galls me is that these people are being paid by Tax Dollars for their warped opinions. No wonder the Military is so screwed up.

Fact is, 44 States have some form of state constitution amendment banning same sex marriage. So what is he going to do about that little obstacle?

So does his support mean anything, and is this just another ‘surrogate‘ telling an audience what they want? I would like to hear Barack Obama take that stand, make that pledge himself.

NEW YORK – Barack Obama will fight for equal rights for gays just as he fought to help working-class families overcome poverty, the Democratic presidential hopeful’s wife told a gay Democratic group. (source – MSNBC News)

Maybe it is just that Gays have been led down the garden path before. Remember Bill Clinton who lovingly gave us ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell‘ and let’s not forget the other candidate, John McCain. He opposed a federal constitution amendment, but worked hard to get one passed in his home state. So just how Gay Friendly are either of these candidates?

While Obama has said that DADT (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) is counterproductive, he HAS YET TO SAY HE’D REPEAL IT. Even Hilary Clinton NEVER said she would either, and we know John McCain isn’t about to, given how he thinks it works just fine.

Makes you wonder, how can anyone run for President when they ARE NOT PREPARED TO STAND UP FOR EVERY CITIZEN. I mean are Gay’s simply not have the VOTING CLOUT of say the EVANGELICALS that both Obama & McCain are cozying up to? Heck, they must have the CLOUT, given how they seem to feel it is their God Given Right to choose the REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
