This, on the same day the Ten Commandments monument is wheeled into a closet. This memorial comes out of the closet, so to speak.

A state sponsored gay memorial. Wake up Alice we're in Wonderland...

Bump and ping.

Is this on federal land? Whatever happened to Clinton's don't ask, don't tell policy relating to the military?

offensive and disgraceful, saying soldiers should not be honored based on sexual orientation.

Exactly... Maybe we can put up a memorial that reads "In Honor of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Veterans Killed in Action." and another one that says "In Honor of Sado-Masochists, Guys That Like Having Their Butts Tickled with a Feather, Foot-lickers, and Toe-Sucking Veterans Killed in Action."

First, the sodomite minions attached themselves to African Americans as the same. They too suffer as the black slaves once did (this is no joke. They really say that). They think they're suffering the same way !!! "Poor, poor victimized us".
Then, they attached themselves to the disabled. "Poor, poor victimized" sodomites can't help themselves, just like those with psychical bodily injuries.
Then, they attached themselves to the womans plight. We're just like you. We suffer at the hands of heterosexual men!!! "Poor , poor victimized us".
Now, they're attaching themselves to dead veterins. How "noble" of them.
The blacks, disabled, women, and vets should be outraged at this type of belittlement. The sodomites are like barn flys at a picnic. You try to brush them off because they eat poop, but they keep comming back uninvited anyway.

"The fact that these veterans who sacrificed their lives are members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community in no way lessens the fact that they are heroes and fought for their country," Lopez said.

So we can put up a Christian monument to honor the Godly dead, too? There wouldn't be enough room in all of California for something as grand as this!

Is it shaped like a ....?

Suppose they had better put up a memorial commemorating the homosexuals that molested children in sodom & gomorrah, and how the cities just dissapeared in one day. Hmm, cali, watchout.

. "Quite frankly, it's an oxymoron: A person who is gay or lesbian and admits to it is not a veteran," Manes said.

Good point. The monument is a lie. How demonic of them.

"The tiny memorial -- about a foot long . . ."

Freudian??

Could be!

God didn't put that fault line there for nothing.

....let's repeat this"To single out such a group because of their sexual proclivities is inappropriate," said Bill Manes, a spokesman for the California State Commanders Veterans Council,

Why doesn't someone offer to put up a hetrosexual war memorial?

[concerned about politics]

Mickey Roonie was queerer than a snow storm in France last week. He wasn't a blessing to the military, he was a curse.
At night, he would keep the other guys awake, because he'd keep trying to crawl into their bunks with them. They had a war to fight, but after being kept up all night protecting their butts, they weren't at their best during combat. Many were exhausted.
Roonie got his as$ kicked almost daily because the guys couldn't get rid of him. This is what the soldiers had to live with every day.
My dad was a Staff Sgt. in WWII. Roonie was part of his group. My dad eventually died from a war injury. It happened during hand to hand combat, and got stabbed with a bayonet. Had he and his men been able to sleep better at night, he may have been more alert. He may not have been stabbed at all.
My dad told us stories of the war. He often blamed other deaths on Roonie's behavior. He said he should have sent him out front and ended it, but a life was a life, so he couldn't. This is what "tolerance" got him.

Since when did sexual orientation or even behavior become a religion. It may offend some Christians with nothing better to worry about but its clearly not a religion. So what is your point?

BTW, Moore probably would have had no trouble with the ten commandments if he had kept his mouth shut and said that he put them there for a religious reason.
