Homosexuals in the military—a petition against
I received the following e-mail recently dealing with a petition to Congress but have been having computer problems and only checked out the website Tuesday morning. I am posting it tonight instead of my planned post. I hope to have more to say on this issue later but it will probably not be until after April the 15th.
However, I will say this tonight. I am disgusted with the portion of military leadership who know this is a terrible concept but are willing to at least publically support it to advance their military careers. They should be booted out of the military along with practicing homosexuals. Tonight’s post includes not only the original e-mail but also the petition that is on the website.

“Sign the petition urging members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to uphold the 1993 law on military eligibility and oppose President Obama's effort to allow homosexuals to serve in the military.
Help Prevent the Sexualization of our Armed Forces

Dear Donald,
Last night in his State of the Union Address, President Obama repeated his call for Congress to repeal the military eligibility law that was passed in 1993, and to allow homosexual conduct within the ranks of the armed forces.
This would put our military in the strange position of actively recruiting personnel who have an expressed intention to violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice (which still prohibits certain forms of sexual conduct, including homosexuality). Forcing soldiers to cohabit with people who view them as sexual objects would inevitably lead to increased sexual tension, sexual harassment, and even sexual assault. America’s military exists to fight and win wars—not to engage in radical social engineering.
Sign the petition to tell Congress to keep the law that says homosexuality is incompatible with military service, and oppose efforts to use our armed forces to advance a sexual agenda.
Sign the petition urging members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to uphold the 1993 law on military eligibility and oppose President Obama's effort to allow homosexuals to serve in the military.
Sincerely,
Tony PerkinsPresident
P.S. Please forward this email to at least one friend.”
The content of the petition:
“Prevent the sexualization of our Armed Forces
To Members of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees:
In 1993, after extensive public debate, Congress adopted and President Clinton signed a law (Public Law 103-160) which declared that ‘The presence in the armed forces of persons who demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability.’
Nothing has changed since that time regarding the needs of the military or the nature of human sexuality that would justify any change in that conclusion. Therefore we, the undersigned, strongly urge you to oppose any legislative efforts to repeal, or administrative efforts to evade, the military personnel eligibility provisions of that law.
Do not let our military be used to advance a radical sexual agenda.”
