The camel's nose is now officially in the tent.

if gays so much want to be treated like the rest of us...then they should pay taxes as a married couple pay...they should be drafted when they start doing that, which I believe they will...they should be judged just like the rest of us...many of them if not most live chaotic lives with multitude partners and are at very high risk for severe diseases....they are at risk because of their high rate of domestic violence...

no matter what laws they create, homosexuals are NOT part of the natural order of producing and caring for offspring...they refuse to be "one of us" so to speak....

they can never be considered normal because they are totally different than the pulse of life, which is survivial of the fittest.

How do they prove they are Gay I want to know.

“they should be drafted”

Dear Mr. and Mr. Bumpirate.

You have been drafted into the United States Army effective today. Please report to your.....

Once the Defense of Marriage Act is overturned, the camel will be in the tent. Plan on huge costs for the taxpayer to follow as we give AIDS medical care to homosexual “spouses.”

I heard gay activist Margarethe (Gretha) Cammermeyer, fired in 1992 as a Colonel, with a dishonorable discharge from the Army, talk on KIRO radio Thursday. She specifically said that the next step is to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act so that federal employees would be eligible to include same sex spouses in their benefits package. In the military that would include such things as housing, pay allotments and commissary privileges.

Of course these benefits won't be extended. The repeal of FDR's policy against gays serving in the military has nothing to do with gay rights. It has everything to do with further weakening the United States of America. That has always been their goal all along. Granting benefits to gay spouses will do nothing to further that goal.

[dagogo redux]

That’ll last about six minutes - until the ever aggressive, ever litigious gays file their first law suit. Who do these people think they are trying to kid?

[panthermom]

I can’t believe this man!!! Now the he KNOWS that the repeal of DOMA is not a possibility with the incoming Congress he makes himself out to be a champion of the cause. Are gays THAT stupid???

[wku man]

Anyone dumb enough to claim he/she or it is homo may as well be one, in my book. Someone who has such bad judgment and low self image to identify themselves as a homo is just as vile, filthy, diseased and gutter-crawling as a real homo.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[sport]

And the sun doesn’t rise in the east.

[screaminsunshine]

True but..you can easily prove your gender or race but Homosexual??? How do they prove they are? Could I claim to be black or an Indian to get benefits?? And that is what this is about. Well to me it makes no sense. Anyone could claim it if bennies are involved. And they are or there would not be such a fuss.

[gitmo]

I don’t think that’s the camel’s NOSE.

[rbg81]

I knew this was going to come up. Wait till gay couples start moving into base housing. Then you’ll reallys see the Exodus.

To inject a tiny bit of levity into a very serious situation, I recall being a very young pup in the military a long, long time ago and far, far away. There was a requirement to have the UCMJ read to the enlisted swine annually and, at one location, we had a young lieutenant who had quite a sense of humor. When he would reach the article dealing with sodomy, he would say, “OK fellows, here it comes.” Then he would intone, with great dignity, a passage from that article that went something like “Penetration, however slight, constitutes the act.” Of course, being the young rascals that we were, we would laugh and clap. That made his day and lessened the tedium of reading all of the articles.

[arthurus]

The courts will take over the command and the details in the military and they will extend benefits. This act by Congress has handed the military over to the Judicial Branch.

I am so sick of thinking about this perversion. Dirty filthy philistines run this country. Sodomites your day is coming.

‘’The partners of gay service members will not AT THIS POINT be given any special rights or any rights that parallel those of a spouse.’’

... but expect that to happen down the road when the Americans turn back to their TVs.

[Rashputin]

Sure they will. That's part of the reason passing DADT was so important to the democrat fascists. Now they can use military service as a club to force things like homosexual marriage down the nations’ throat (and up their whatnot) because it isn't “fair” to deprive those who serve from the same rights as heterosexuals have with regard to their “significant others”. Before you know it, it's not only going to be used as a club for homosexual marriage, it'll be used to leverage a lot of other things as well.
