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.
How about we take this to the next level?

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?

ask him on his facebook wall
http://www.facebook.com/DuncanHunter?sk=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 😀

“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.

I don’t usually say things like this, but that joke about gay people in Iraq isn’t funny. I’ve read disgusting accounts of how gay men are tortured and murdered there. Some sensitivity is warranted.

He reminds me of Spanky on the Little Rascals. BRAT.

He has gayface and probably pays to suck off Marines in parked cars at the Oceanside, CA Walmart.

@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.

gay face!

@Thomas Maguire: BINGO !!!!

“…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.

Am I the only gay man who isn’t mentally undressing or fantasizing about sex with our oppressors?

I approve of Duncan Hunter’s mouth being fixed permanently to my apple breast.
Please, Duncan, ravish me. Ravish me all over, from the pit of my arms to the aperture of my patootie.

@Q.S. i’d rather dry-hump a power-sander until my crotch is a bloody stump than fuck a Republican.
Abel
I really would like to see a public smackdown on the floor of the House, however. Someone who would call out Rep. Hunter as the bigot and neanderthal that he is.
Mr Politico
Look where his district is located..whadda expect..His constituents are all chasing aliens

@Little Kiwi: A shame, I think you’re adorable.

Why do the bigots always equate orientation with “conduct”?
Unless a service member is actively spying on another service member, how would he know anything about anyone else’s (gay or straight) “conduct”?
Orientation does NOT equal conduct.
jason
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.
Little Kiwi
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.

Probably another closet queer.

Then it is true… the ones who bitch, scream or complain the most about “something” are the ones who want to “do it”… or “use it”!!!!!!
The idiots!
