“I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way.” -Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace
Then it must be a real bitch to have to serve under the Bush administration, huh?!
WASHINGTON - A gay advocacy group Tuesday demanded an apology from the Pentagon A-s top general for calling homosexuality immoral.
“General PaceA-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.
Pace, chairman of the military Joint Chiefs of Staff, made his remarks in an interview Monday with the Chicago Tribune. He was responding to a question about the “donA-t ask, donA-t tell” policy that allows gays and lesbians to serve if they keep their sexual orientation private and donA-t engage in homosexual acts.
Pace said he supports the policy, which prohibits commanders from asking about a personA-s sexual orientation. Over the years thousands have been dismissed under this policy, signed into law by President Clinton in 1994.
Good luck with that…
