WASHINGTON – A Pentagon spokeswoman says recruiters have been told that they must accept gay applicants, following a federal court decision striking down the ban on gays serving openly in the military. Spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said Tuesday that top-level guidance has been issued to recruiting commands informing them that the military's "don't ask, don't tell" rule has been suspended for now. Recruiters also have been told to inform potential recruits that the moratorium could be reversed at any point. Last week, a federal judge ordered the military to stop enforcing the 1993 law banning openly gay service members. The Justice Department is appealing the decision and has asked for a temporary stay.

Show me where I said it was justified. Nowhere. I am merely pointing out the fact that the behavior of a very vocal minority of gays is part of the reason that some people get so riled up about the notion of "gay rights".
I didn't say you did, which is why posed it as a question. So I'll assume then that you don't think it is. Glad to hear it. I am merely pointing out the fact that the behavior of a very vocal minority of gays is part of the reason that some people get so riled up about the notion of "gay rights" Maybe so, but I don't think this would be such an issue of these people weren't homophobic in the first place.
This is not an appropriate way to behave in public: This is not an appropriate way to behave in public: Where was this photo taken? At a military function? And who decides what's appropriate or not?
I'm homophobic meguro/calcon, watcha gonna do about it, get your fellow(lol) fairies together and hit me with your purses..? There isn't a g-damn thing in the world you, or any fag can do, to force ANYONE to accept what you do as normal, or even to like you...people are strange that way, I know I am...

The same people that regulate smoking.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Local public decency laws. In most localities in the U.S., one cannot parade around naked in the streets. Back to the point at hand. Some people who don't know any openly gay people see pictures from these Gay Pride Parades and they think the worst. I don't blame them. I blame the minority of gays like those in this picture who feel it necessary to parade their sexuality around in public.
Liberals that are OK with regulating smokers are hypocritical when asking regulation of homosexuality be waived. Both must be allowed and regulated for health reasons. To be Consistent.
-----------------------------------------------------------
And in what municipality were these photos taken? Were any laws broken? Back to the point at hand. Some people who don't know any openly gay people see pictures from these Gay Pride Parades and they think the worst. I don't blame them. I blame the minority of gays like those in this picture who feel it necessary to parade their sexuality around in public. Assuming they're breaking no laws, these people are free to do this, and those people who don't like such things are free not to view the photos or attend the events. Live and let live. If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. -- Joe Sobran So I guess you're a liberal?
Really? Are you saying you are sexually attracted to men,but choose to only have sex with women because that is your choice?

OK,so God himself decided that homosexuality should be a option?

So you feel the same way about pedophiles and people who engage in bestiality? Why would faggots be different?
You choose to be and do what you want. People choose to be murderers, robbers, rapists and molesters.
Yes. You would have to be a idiot to think that somebody WANTS to be a child molester or hump horses,and it's not something you would do accidentially.

No. He foresaw it was another perversion that people would engage in as moral relativity became more and more the prevalent excuse to justify aberrant, forbidden behavior and warned humankind against the pitfalls associated with that behavior. Such as health troubles, blackmail potential, and the downward spiral that people find themselves trapped in when they begin acting contrary to plan.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)
You remember making a decision to be sexually attracted to women?

No, the idiots are those who choose to engage in such degenerate activities.
I am a south Park Republican. I don't care about sexuality or pot. But saying that we don't make a decision on sexuality is to dismiss an argument the left uses often. That we are shaped by our environment.

No more than I remember making a decision not to engage in murder, robbery, rape, beastiality or child molestation.
"You would have to be a idiot to think that somebody WANTS to be a child molester or hump horses" "No, the idiots are those who choose to engage in such degenerate activities". LOL...pete, you are one, sick MOFO... This sure gives a whole new meaning to "The Devil Made Me Do It"... I suppose in todays fked up world, psychologist are telling their depraved patients, 'hey man, don't be so hard on y'll self, If it wern't for GOD, you wouldn't have done such a thing, he's the one who made ya do it..." I wonder if at the time they're sexually abusing children and animals, do you think they apologize and say...You Have to Excuse Me, God Mad Me Do It...? SPIT!

Were you tempted to appear as a character witness for John Wayne Gacy? I guess you feel, as Flip Wilson would say, "God Made Him Do it." (or something like that)
Homosexuality is something new? WOW! Who knew?

I disagree. It is the alleged RIGHT that make that statement with their claims that people "learn" to be homosexuals. You are either born to be a homosexual or you're not. It's not something you can learn. The same thing applies to bi-sexuals,who are the only ones that actually do have a choice. Most of us are exclusively heterosexual or homosexual,and we had no choice in the matter.

I didn't choose to become gay anymore than you chose to become mentally ill, Whitey.
Isn't a part of your argument that God gave us free will? I guess you feel, as Flip Wilson would say, "God Made Him Do it." (or something like that) God is the flip side of the devil. You have to believe in God for the devil to exist.

How many dicks did you suck before you decided to be straight. Any straight or gay person can see how ridiculous your post is. I couldn't choose to like dick if I wanted to. So why do you think someone can choose to like dick?
Ask someone who has.
I am not mentally ill. But we do need to regulate homosexuality just as we do smoking. And for the same reasons.

To date, no researcher has claimed that genes can determine sexual orientation. At best, researchers believe that there may be a genetic component. No human behavior, let alone sexual behavior, has been connected to genetic markers to date. —PFLAG (Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians And Gays), "Why Ask Why: Addressing the Research on Homosexuality," 1995

ROFLMAO! Do you plan on having homo-free bars? Homo-free rental housing? Maybe you plan on having the government issue homo-sex permits? Maybe sell blowjob stamps,giving the buyers permission to give or receive "X-amount" of bj's per month? AND......since you seem to think homosexuality can be caught,like the flu,aren't you afraid of ending up with all-homo police forces and courts from their constant exposure to non-permit homos?

To date,no researcher has claimed there is proof that God exists,or that if he does that he is a heterosexual who hates homos. After all,according to your own superstitious beliefs he chose in vitro fertilization with a married virgin for his own boy to be born,a boy that lived to the 30's without ever having sex with a woman and who said "Love your fellow man" while hanging out with nobody but males? Anybody ever heard of "Mrs God"? How do you know that God himself isn't a homo that hates women and the idea of heterosexual sex,and that's why he made women so bitchy? Maybe he WANTED men and women to have problems living together?

Yeah, you are, extremely so. You should be locked up and institutionalized. I'm sure all those doctors and nurses in your family would agree.
LOL! Nice touch.

Yup, did you wear purple today for "Coming out day?"
So did someone rape you? If not you chose your own actions. Or maybe you are possessed? It is really stupid for someone to say they didn't choose to be a faggot.
Leviticus and Romans and other places make it clear that homosexuals are going to hell. Unless they repent.
It is really stupid for someone to say they didn't choose to be a faggot. Dummy.
It is a choice. Only a moron would think otherwise. I will put you down as a moron.
Just don't forget to add yourself. Incidentally, does one choose to be a moron?
