Yeah another topic I don't generally feel comfortable writing about for several reasons. Mainly, I don't really care all that much about people's sexual preference and whether or not they choose to serve in the military. However, I read an article the other day and saw a commercial on Armed Forces Network (AFN) TV this morning that angered me.
I don't generally mind stuff that I consider "reverse discrimination" like African American History month, Hispanic Heritage month etc. I can understand some amount of memorial time for past (and to some degree) present racial inequalities, but this it TOTALLY different. It's like sexual preference reverse discrimination.
I don't go around accosting people that profess to be homosexual with the Bible and insisting that they repent of their sins ere they die and go to hell. I don't think that's the best way to approach the issue. It's pretty clear both biblically and biologically that homosexuality is not natural, so people that choose that lifestyle are not going to respond to that kind of approach. All that being said... I can't stand militant, *insert philosophy here*...
Apparently, along with the Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal the Department of Defense is now having some kind of gay pride celebration month. This morning I was eating my breakfast and the AFN sports channel was playing (as always) and a commercial with a message from the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF), Leon Panetta, welcoming gays and members of the LBGT community into the military. Now, I know the SECDEF says thank you to everyone serving fairly regularly, but when was the last time he said ...we appreciate all heterosexual monogamous couples serving... Celebrate diversity in gender, race, and culture among other things, but let's not celebrate sin.
