On January 25, Stars and Stripes reported that Ashley Broadway, who had been denied membership in Fort Bragg’s officers’ spouse club because her spouse is a woman, has not only been accepted as a member of the spouse club, but has also been named as Fort Bragg’s 2013 spouse of the year in an online contest run by Military Spouse magazine. Winning this contest at the base level puts Broadway in the running for the magazine’s Army spouse of the year.
Needless to say, the extremely homophobic Air Force Major Jonathan C. Dowty, a.k.a. the Christian Fighter Pilot — whose number of blog posts about ‘homosexuals’ may soon rival the over 400 posts he’s written about Mikey Weinstein, his family, and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) — has his panties in a wad over this recognition of a ‘homosexual’ as a spouse.
But, as he wrote in a blog post titled “Military Spouse of the Year: Devout Christian, Homosexual,” Maj. Dowty also has a problem with Broadway describing herself as “a very devout Christian,” writing:
“It is also true that some who might call themselves “devout Christians” may still sin — no one is perfect, after all (actually, there was that One Guy…). It is notable, though, that someone proudly proclaiming her faith in Jesus Christ is just as proudly proclaiming her unrepentant sin.”
Poor Maj. Dowty — not only does he have to share the military with the ‘homosexuals,’ he also has to share the same lord and savior with them. It’s enough to make a fundie’s head explode.

Thus proving the old adage “Two wrongs do not make a right”.

Of course, nowhere in the bible, old or new testament, is female homosexuality explicitly condemned. There is one place (Rom. 1:26-27) where Paul talks about God giving women over to “unnatural lusts” , but he does not specify that homosexuality is what he is talking about. This is very odd because when in the very next sentence, he talks about the sins that men commit, he expressly specifies male-on-male sex. When fundies use the bible to condemn female homosexuality they are not on very firm ground.

I didn’t know those icky gay cooties could be passed by worship. Does this mean Jesus is now gay? And can you catch gay by worshiping Him?

Memo to Major Dowty:
It’s my experience that people hate most in others what they fear most in themselves.

Randytoad: Even if you read Romans as “unnatural lusts” = “girl-on-girl action”, it still isn’t condemning the women–rather, it says that God made the women go gay in order to punish the wicked men of the city. Presumably, then, we’ll only stop having lesbians when every dood stops being so evil.

Oh, these folks aren’t homophobes. They’re just snobs who think that having there be a gay person named “Broadway” is too on the nose, and the writers of reality should try harder. /sarcasm

Wasn’t it ….well, that one guy who said “judge not lest ye be judged”. I’d much rather Major Dowty was out there flying his airplane, getting his ass shot off, you know, doing what we pay him to do…..
doG! this guy is going to make one fucking obnoxious veteran

I’d rather he be kicked out of the military or be reassigned to some job where he doesn’t have to interact with anyone else.

Poor Ashley forgot that not only with one dubious exception in Paul’s letters is Lesbianism condemned but that God thinks girl on girl action is hawt!! Of course is the Bible is anything to go on the Male on male stuff is according to God gross!
