Duncan Hunter Would Like To Legalize Military Homophobia
34-year-old California House Republican Duncan Hunter already tried to delay the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell once. But with DADT’s funeral coming on September 20th, he is busy drafting legislation to “ensure that a member of the Armed Forces under their jurisdiction is not pressured to approve of another person’s sexual conduct if that sexual conduct is contrary to the personal principles of the member.” In other words, he wants to allow service members to “express their personal [re: homophobic] views” without any consequences. That should go well.
As an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran who served as a Marine Corps officer, why has Duncan decided to stop there? Why not draft a bill also allowing service members to express their personal views about the inferiority of dark-skinned people, the moral degeneracy of women, or the secret Jewish plot to destroy the cosmos?
Oh, that’s right… because that’s crazy.
Luckily, with a Democratic-led Senate, there’s not a homosexual’s chance in Iraq that this bill will ever become law.

ask him on his facebook wall

what is he even talking about? being Out doesn’t mean you’re “forcing people to accept you” – it means that you’re able to live freely without somone’s “non-acceptance” coming at your own personal expense.
i mean, if these bigots can keep their “disapproval” of Jews or Non-Christians to themselves, why not the same for LGBT people?
Hunter, like his ilk, doesn’t have a freakin clue what he’s talking about. But hey, let HIM know that.
facebook wall him :D

“ensure that a member of the Armed Forces under their jurisdiction is not pressured to approve of another person’s sexual conduct if that sexual conduct is contrary to the personal principles of the member.”
I love it.
Gay servicemembers, don’t hold back. Remember — adultery violates the UCMJ. You shouldn’t be forced to approve of your married colleagues getting some trim.
Extra credit to any gay servicemember whose report gets a homophobic snitch or witch-hunter discharged.
Bonus: gay servicemembers who remain closeted. You guys are like the nuclear subs. Slutty hetero servicmembers will never know what hit ‘em.
Carry on.

@Thomas Maguire: Exactly my thoughts! He looks like he’s afraid to open his mouth too far or the jiz will spill out!

THIS is why the court cases against anti-gay discrimination need to go forward, and why groups like HRC, telling you that the courts are the wrong places to fight this out and we need to wait for legislation is bogus.
Legislation can be changed the next time the other party gets power.

“…if that sexual conduct is contrary to the personal principles of the member.”
Well, we wouldn’t want anyone to behave contrary to the personal principles of their member, would we?
You know, when you read it as a dick joke, it’s much less offensive.

Congressmen should be careful for what they ask for.
“. . . ensure that a member of the Armed Forces under their jurisdiction is not pressured to approve of another person’s sexual conduct if that sexual conduct is contrary to the personal principles of the member.”
“Turnabout is foreplay,” said the heterophobic nurse in the base VD clinc, as he reported hundreds of cases of disease-spreading heterosexual immorality.
These oddballs have no clue that this sort of legislation will be a blade with two edges.

@Q.S. i’d rather dry-hump a power-sander until my crotch is a bloody stump than fuck a Republican.

timncguy,
So true!
These religious bigots are always saying how they love the sinner but not the sin. However, when it comes to the tin tacks of the matter, they’re always equating the sin with the sinner.

Duncan Hunter, who whines nonstop about “freedom of speech” even when it makes no contextual sense, has been systematically removing LGBT people, and then blocking them, from his facebook page.
let him know how you feel, brothers and sisters.

So does that mean if a soldier finds out a male soldier has raped a female soldier, can that soldier then report the rapist, without fear of reprisal?
