		<description>True immorality:

1) Starting a war based on lies 
2) Torture
3) Paying lip-serice to hurricane victims
4) Using 9/11 to further an extremist political agenda
5) Subverting the Constitution
6) Treating wounded soldiers like dirt
7) Firing prosecutors for purely political reasons
8) Reversing environmental protections to aid corporate cronies
9) Exposing a CIA operative for political revenge
10) Allowing income inequality to grow unchecked

I could go on and on.</description>

		<description>maybe gays can get in on &quot;morals clauses&quot; like convicted felons? 

their&#039;s an old yiddish saying that translates to &quot;you should grow like an onion wiht your head in the ground&quot; which definitley seems to apply to the right when it comes to gays in general and gays in the military.   your more concerned about 2 soldiers kissing than you are about sending them to a just war in which they aren&#039;t even given decent equipment to protect them. 

Then there&#039;s the fact that while this war may have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein, even more Iraqis have died than had he lived, they&#039;ve ended up with a theocracy which will just means a lousy situation for women. 

But, as long as fags aren&#039;t in the military what does any of that matter?

How dare Senator Brokeback!</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see:
a) Monogamous homosexual couple, been together 20 years. Love each other more than anything.

b) Adulterous heterosexual couple, together 2 years, can&#039;t stand to look at each other.

You people think &quot;a&quot; and &quot;b&quot; are BOTH immoral? You make me sick.</description>

		<description>I guess the only question left to answer is Brownback&#039;s homophobia masking a closet homosexual tendency? I doubt God is watching any self conscious crisis. Condemning life style choices and preceived &#039;unsavory&#039; behavior only serves to encourage and validate. Last time I checked we were still a country called America, and about freedoms guaranteed.</description>

		<description>The prob I have with Pace is that since he is in command of the military, does he think that there should or should NOT be defense for any type of &quot;immoral&quot; people?  DOes he have a differentiation of which people SHOULD be &quot;worthy&quot; of being defended by the military. This is the heart of the matter with his verbalization of his thoughts. If there is ANY differentiation, then he needs to step down IMMEDIATELY before Martial law is put in place after the ROve Conviction and Cheney indictment &quot;october surprise rolls tanks into NYC on the newly reinforced bridges they are now retrofitting all over NY. 
It is for the tanks you know. They fully expect Martial law if anything happens anywhere.</description>

		<description>I would love to see the military shoot it&#039;s self in the foot by banning gays from service.  That way one would only have to say &quot;I&#039;m gay&quot; to get discharged when they didn&#039;t like the way they were being treated.  Like being sent to fight an immoral illegal war for instance.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t care what &quot;gays&quot; or &quot;hetero&quot; do in the personal lives. Although I do find it very interesting that most so call religious (not) right seem to be pre-occupied with it. If you think the politician really cares then you are a fool. For example, the right had the presidency, the congress  and the courts. Yet , you will notice that abortion is still legal. See, if they banned it, then you idiots would have to start thinking about other things during election years. Yet time and time again we get back to guns, gays and god. With a little insert of abortion. I DON&#039;T CARE what you do with you life. So long as you are killing to justify your belief. I DON&#039;T CARE what you do in you life, So long as you stay our of my house. I DON&#039;T CARE what you do just leave people alone. You so call Christian that are filled with hate seem to miss the point. Go back and start over.  God doesn&#039;t care that you point out the sins of others. He want&#039;s you to do less yourself. Help others regardless. Help the poor. Help the ederly.  Just be a good person and not care about what you cannot change in this forsaken world that we have screwed up.</description>

		<description>Patrick1, care to explain just why homosexuality is immoral?  I just don&#039;t follow your logic.

Let me guess:

1. God says in the OT that gay = wrong
2. I don&#039;t understand homosexuality
3. Therefore, it&#039;s immoral

If this is wrong, please correct it and show us how you&#039;ve come to the conclusion that homosexuality is immoral, choice or not.

And another thing, say it is a choice - who cares?!  This is America jack -you don&#039;t like freedom, you can go back to Europe.</description>

		<description>G. Andrew Barker,
You sound like a fine and very sane person.  BTW, do you know that Gingrich has an openly lesbian half-sister?</description>

		<description>First,  I am 63 year old openly gay man; in a 15 year loving and monogmous relationship; an award winning and published architect with a Master&#039;s degree and a former adjunct university professor who served two years on active duty with the Naval Reserves in the late 60&#039;s. Being gay was never a choice, I just was. None of my syblings or I ever played with dolls nor had any desire to dress in drag. Yet, I am the only one of the four boys in that loving and nurturing two parent family who is gay.

I spent all of  my junior high, high school and college year summers swimming, body and board surffing, sailing  and lifeguarding for the City of Los Angeles. My two summers during grad school were spent working in the west coast architectural office of the Santa Fe Railroad..

With a great uncle and two of my mother&#039;s cousins being Presbyterian Ministers, we were baptized as babies and brought up to repect and live our lives according to the teachings of the Christed one. We went to church twice a week and to church camp every summer until we graduated from high school, I was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout, an Explorer Scout and member of the honored Order of the Arrow. Neither my Church nor church sponsored Scout goups ever spoke of nor denigrated homosexuality or Queers. There wasn&#039;t any talk of  a homosexual agenda or lifestyle. These terms were created by the Falwell&#039;s, Sheldon&#039;s, Gingrich&#039;s and other radical religious right wing bigots when they began their agnda to usurp the once respected GOP and planned their now infamous Contract &quot;on&quot; America.

With regards to Pace&#039;s comment that homosexuality is â€˜immoralâ€™ and compared it to adultery,â€  homosexuality is not defined as being immoral in either the typical dictionaries or in the UCMJ.  What is defined in the UCMJ as being an immoral act is adultry. By defintion, adultry is an act of infidelity between one or both members of a married couple with another married individual. Since 99% of homosexuals - both male and female- are prohibited by law from marrying, they cannot commit adultry. Thus Pace&#039;s comment comparing the immorality of adultry with homosexuality is completely bogus and blatantly immoraly homophobic!</description>
