Sure looks like activists in the “gay” set wanted to strong arm everybody.
I am not sure everyone or even a majority in the “gay” set even wanted this. But they are susceptible to being led around by the nose. Kind of like how in Islam when the fundies rumble the passive masses follow.
These are at most “friends with benefits.” With the benefits dubious. I believe in reaching out to the “gay” crowd to show them a better way, but not by pretending their current way is just peachy.
If I recall correctly,many years ago when I was in the military,it was spelled out in no uncertain terms that any “gay” activity was considered a court-martial offense. Of course,back then the military’s prime consideration was the defense of our nation.
Yet another disaster created by the Supreme Court’s unconstitutional and idiotic ruling on gay “marriage”.
We have known what “marriage” is for thousands of years and just because some subset of 9 judges decided to redefine it in order to foist the liberal/homosexual agenda on a society that doesn’t want it doesn’t mean that the definition of marriage has actually changed. We all know what a real marriage is.
I against being forced to promote a gay lifestyle but that’s not what happened here. This colonel picked a weird place to draw a line in the sand—signing a certificate for a somebody retiring. It’s not like he was being asked to participate in the guy’s wedding or even have anything remotely to do with it.
The fact is, this colonel treated one of his airmen different because of his personal views on something legal that the guy did. That is a leadership fail. Nobody’s asking him to promote the gay lifestyle. All things considered, I’ll bet this colonel feels pretty stupid for white-knighting this issue on a guy that has retired into civilian life. He let his personal views impinge on doing his job, that is a big leadership fail.
