And for those of you too lazy to actually GO THERE:
They will sue to get benefits [and] they will sue to get the same married housing as straight soldiers and so you're going to have a situation where you find yourself faced with this question of your kids being exposed to homosexual behavior in the house next door. Obama and gays have shown that they care more about the sensitivities of gay and lesbian soldiers than they do about the privacy rights of the majority of normal soldiers. I don't really think Obama respects the troops. He respects the gay activists and he wants to implement his agenda as fast as he can -- and that's what he's doing.- Pete LaBarbera, head of the SPLC-certified hate group, Americans For Truth About Homosexuality.
Again, oodles of thanks to Joe.
I'll hop right in and tear this to pieces. Of course we'll sue to get benefits. To do otherwise would be to continue tolerating an injustice. We're fighting for equal rights here, not semi-equal rights. Not pseudo-equal rights. FULLY equal rights. Anything else can go fuck off.
Of course we'll sue to get the same married housing as straight soldiers. If we're married to a soldier, to not give us this housing would be discriminatory. As for kids being exposed to homosexual behavior in the house next door, we're exposed to your heterosexual behavior basically everywhere. I think your kids can handle seeing two men/women kiss at the front door. It's not like we're gonna start rutting on the porch. And if some of us do, I'm SURE there's straight couples who've done the same.
Privacy rights of the majority of "normal" soldiers. What? How does me making out with someone violate the privacy rights of others? When I went to high school I got to see straight couples making out in the hallways nearly every day. I felt like I was the one invading THEIR privacy, not the other way round. I also happen to see straight couples holding hands/kissing/cuddling in public every day I go outside. I still don't feel my privacy rights being violated. No, dear Petey, what you're feeling is disgust and hatred. Which doesn't equal your privacy rights being violated.
How does Obama not respect the troops? I think he's placed a huge amount of trust in them. Trust that they'll carry out this policy with the highest level of honor that our troops have shown in the past. Trust that they'll continue to do their jobs perfectly, without regard to their comrades being straight or gay. This isn't disrespectful, quite the opposite.
Now believe me, I am quite happy that DADT is finally gone. But Obama implementing his agenda as fast as he can? This is, sadly, the most laughable thing he said. At least he saved it for last? Obama promised to repeal DADT (which he's finally done) among a SLEW of other things for our community. I believe we're still waiting on ENDA? Yep. Still waiting on it. Obama's course of action up to now has been to support gay rights, but not really do anything about it. And it's unlikely that he's going to change that.
So Petey, ol' boy ol' pal, care to say something intelligent? No? Of course not. I expect too much of you.
