"Gay Rights" has nothing to do with the military.
That Gay Rights is even a part of the discussion is evidence of the Gramscian Agenda of the Left.
The Left is attempting has infiltrated the Military, and is now using the Gay Right Intimidation as a method to drive normal, reasonable (i.e. "Conservatives") out of the American Military.
The larger goal is to destroy America.
From John Hawkins from Right Wing News:
Evangelical Christian airmen at Lackland Air Force Base are facing severe threats and retribution for their religious beliefs and some personnel have been ordered to publicly express their position on gay marriage.“There is an atmosphere of intimidation at Lackland Air Force Base,” said Steve Branson, the pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. “Gay commanders and officers are pushing their agenda on the airmen. There is a culture of fear in the military and it’s gone to a new level with the issue of homosexuality.”Branson tells me at least 80 airmen attended a private meeting at the church where he heard them voice their concerns about religious hostilities at the Air Force base. It was a standing-room only crowd.“The religious persecution is happening,” the pastor said. “It’s getting bigger every day. Gay and lesbian airmen can talk about their lifestyle, but the rest have to stay completely quiet about what they believe.”Among those at the church meeting was Senior Master Sgt. Phillip Monk. The 19-year veteran was punished after he refused to tell his lesbian commander his position on gay marriage. I was the first reporter to tell his story.
A military that’s hostile to Christianity will fall to pieces over the long haul because there simply aren’t enough Muslims, atheists, homosexuals and liberals that want to join the military to keep it staffed. Since liberals detest the military anyway, that’s not going to trouble them, but the rest of us should be concerned.
