Pelosi Seeks Military In Pink - Goes Wild Again Over Homosexual Agenda

Related Washington Post Article: President Obama has endorsed a "don't ask, don't tell" compromise between lawmakers and the Defense Department, the White House announced Monday, an agreement that may sidestep a key obstacle to repealing the military's policy banning gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the armed forces. Lawmakers will now, within days, vote on amendments that would repeal the Clinton-era policy, with a provision ensuring that any change would not take effect until after the Pentagon completes a study about its impact on troops. That study is due to Congress by Dec. 1. ARRA Editor's Note: no mention was made of the fact that it is a crime to be a practicing homosexual in the military under the USMJ.

by the Traditional Values Coalition: A vote on the House floor expected this week to repeal 1993 law banning homosexuals from serving in the Armed Forces of the United States.

Our nation is faced with an economic crisis, unemployment, and several recent natural disasters. Yet, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco, CA) seems fixated on pushing the homosexual and transgender political agenda.

This is a critical week, it is D-Day for our military. Both the House and Senate will be considering whether to repeal the 1993 law regarding homosexuals in the military. It has been mislabeled “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT).

Federal courts have upheld the constitutionality of the law banning homosexuals in the military. The 1993 law states “there is no constitutional right to serve,” and the military is a “specialized society” that is “fundamentally different from civilian life.” In living conditions offering little or no privacy, homosexuality presents an “unacceptable risk” to good order, discipline, morale and unit cohesion—qualities essential for combat readiness.

Pelosi has put a high priority on passing this controversial repeal. Her efforts do not benefit the majority of Americans, but only a tiny number of activists who want to impose the lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender (LGBT) agenda on the military. Pelosi will try to add the repeal language to the important Defense Authorization bill. The vote is expected on the House floor on May 27. In the Senate, Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) is pushing to add the same repeal language to the National Defense Authorization Act when the Senate Armed Services Committee meets this week.

Last week, the House Armed Services Committee chaired by Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO) dealt with the Defense Authorization bill, but he didn’t permit any action on repeal of the 1993 law (Section 654, Title 10, U.S.C.)

The current policy – not the law itself – is inaccurately referred to as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT). This was a policy imposed on the military by President Bill Clinton. The law says that gays and lesbians are detrimental to the service and can’t serve. Clinton ignored the clear intent of the law and imposed the DADT policy on the Pentagon.

The Pentagon is currently conducting a review of how the military will be impacted by repeal of the 1993 law. It will issue its report in December 2010.

Pro-homosexual Senators and Representatives, however, are ignoring the Pentagon’s mission and are pushing now to overturn the 1993 law. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen recently released a letter strongly condemning the effort of the House and Senate to rush through legislation overturning the 1993 law. They said that such legislative action this year would send “a very damaging message to our men and women in uniform.”

All legislative efforts to repeal or weaken the ban, including a ‘moratorium’ on enforcement, or repeal with “delayed implementation” should be opposed. There are numerous reasons why the 1993 law must be kept in place:

• The current findings about gays in the military are still valid. The 1993 law states that “there is no constitutional right to serve” and that homosexuals present an “unacceptable risk” to the good order, discipline, morale and unit cohesion. All these are essential for combat readiness.

• During a time of war against Islamic terrorism on two fronts is not the time to engage in social experimentation with our military.

• This is not a priority for the American people.

• Overturning the 1993 law will do nothing to improve military readiness or support unit cohesion and morale during war.

• Military service is a privilege not a right. The military has the right to deny entry to individuals who are not suited for military life.

• Placing men and women with homosexual desires among heterosexual warriors will cause all sorts of tensions.

• Base family housing will be opened up to “gay” couples and conflicts over spousal benefits for non-married individuals. The legalization of gays, bisexuals, and transgenders in the military will increase pressure to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

• The military will institute a zero tolerance policy against criticism of homosexuals. Critics will be denied promotion and/or leave the service.

• In addition to zero tolerance, the military will institute mandatory LGBT sensitivity training for military personnel and modify the  curriculum for their dependent children at military schools.

• Chaplains who preach the Word of God will be driven from the service. They will be forbidden to preach from the Bible about the sin of homosexuality.
• Disrupting the military during a time of war is counterproductive and will lead to serious morale problems.

TAKE ACTION: Contact your U.S. Representative and two Senators today and ask that he or she oppose any effort to overturn the 1993 law.
