Outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced a few days ago that the Pentagon would be offering several important benefits to the same-sex spouses of gay soldiers and the American Family Association — by “family” they mean “we hate gay people” — is calling down the thunder, especially over the terrible thought of a gay soldier’s spouse being buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
This means the military will recognize homosexual lovers as “married” and will give a full slate of benefits, including burial in Arlington National Cemetery.
Panetta, at every turn, has exposed the military to open homosexuality, which presents an unacceptable risk to good order, discipline, morale and unit cohesion – qualities essential for combat readiness.
TAKE ACTION
Send a letter to your members of Congress, letting them know that, on their watch, they have allowed the security of our nation to be endangered by focusing on social experimentation, rather than defense.
Yes, of course. Because a decaying gay person in Arlington would release gay erototoxins into the soil, which would leech through the soles of the shoes of the color guard and other soldiers who may enter the cemetery and infect them with The Gay. And then we’ll all be doomed. Or something.

I’m surprised they don’t also claim that military effectiveness will be threatened because “real men” will be replaced by “limp wristed pansies.”

I’m only surprised, after reading that headline, to find that they weren’t accusing the GAY of necrophiliating their loved ones. Oh, wait, that couldn’t happen, none of those ReiKKKwing fucktarts would let their kids do something as stupid as serving their country–it might cut back on the revenue stream.
The way it’s been going the last few years with fundies retirin’ or–better yet–droppin’ dead and having their sons replace them at the helm American Talibangelicalism is starting to resemble the regime in North Korea. The only difference is that the Kims might actually do a FEW good things.

“gay erototoxins”
Damn, I wish I had thought of that one.
Are they listed as an ingredient in the Homosexual Agenda?
Oh wait! Chemtrails! NOW I know what all the fuss is about…
Sneaky gays…

And yet, the military is saying that the repeal of DADT has done… jack shit to unit cohesion and morality.
Defend our boys in uniform! But for god’s sake, don’t listen to them!!

I think the real issue these fundies have is best summarized in one word: Cooties. That word also conveniently points out their level of maturity.

Well, they would say that, wouldn’t they?

“…would release gay erototoxins into the soil…”
Shhh. Don’t anyone tell Bill about that. He might freak Stuart out again.

As is usual with these loons, the only evidence that matters is what they believe to be true. The actual facts of the issue at hand are simply distractions placed there by satan to test their faith.

So THAT’s what the queers are doing to our soil. Does that mean that gay Martians will be landing UFO’s at Arlington?

I don’t get it. Seems gay soldiers would be closer, not less “cohesive.”

Also:
Same argument used vs. women in the military, didn’t work. Same argument for people of color in the military, didn’t work.
How many times do these bigots need to hit themselves in the head before they get it?

open homosexuality, which presents an unacceptable risk to good order, discipline, morale and unit cohesion
More or less of a risk than closeted homosexuality?
