Homosexuality. Immoral?

"Pace Won't Apologize for Gay Remark"

Senior aides to the chairman of the military Joint Chiefs of Staff said Tuesday that Marine Gen. Peter Pace won't apologize for calling homosexuality immoral — an opinion that gay advocacy groups deplored.

In a newspaper interview Monday, Pace had likened homosexual acts to adultery and said the military should not condone it by allowing gays to serve openly in the armed forces. "As an individual, I would not want (acceptance of gay behavior) to be our policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy that if we were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with somebody else's wife, that we would just look the other way, which we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behavior," Pace said.

"General Pace's comments are outrageous, insensitive and disrespectful to the 65,000 lesbian and gay troops now serving in our armed forces," the advocacy group Servicemembers Legal Defense Network said in a statement on its Web site.

"General Pace's statements aren't in line with either the majority of the public or the military," said Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Martin Meehan. "He needs to recognize that support for overturning (the policy) is strong and growing" and that the military is "turning away good troops to enforce a costly policy of discrimination."

Where do I begin? I'm not going to go to the Bible to prove the immorality of homosexuality. I could, but I won't. Its in there. Anyone who cares about the integrity of the Bible knows its in there. Anyone who doesn't care about the integrity of the Bible isn't going to be persuaded about anything if I quote chapter and verse.

Has the General been, "outrageous, insensitive and disrespectful" with his comments? Only if you are gay. And if you are, Pace will never appease you, because you and he don't see eye to eye on this question of morality.

The gay community wants to be able to live as they wish, marry as they wish, receive employment benefits as they wish, and serve in the military as they wish, and not have Pace express his opinion that he disagrees. They want total and complete freedom, but stand ready to silence Pace's opinion (or paint him publicly as a fool, a prude, a homophobe, or an unreasonable excuse for a human being).

How about the Democrat's assertion that, "General Pace's statements aren't in line with either the majority of the public or the military." I don't know if that's true or not. I hope not, but "the majority of the public" has fooled me before.

I applaud Pace for stating his principles clearly and with conviction, knowing that he is now in the targets of every liberal cause and advocacy group. Won't be long before his resignation is demanded (probably has already been reported somewhere).
