You can rape someone with something other than a penis.

But sexual assault doesn’t have to involve forced penetration.

Given the acts that the FRC includes under the heading of rape, it’s especially important for people to be understand this.

[Time Magazine a reputable enough source?](http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1968110,00.html)(Caveat: editorial columnist, not an article.) [And some first person accounts](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8005198.stm), including one who talks about the avoiding water to avoid latrine visits.

Comes now the Family Research Council (NAMBLA) [and says](http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/06/01/my-take-ending-dont-ask-dont-tell-would-undermine-religious-liberty/)that allowing open homosexual soldiers

DAMN IT! Who keeps opening their cockholes and blabbing our plans to them? If we’re ever to make the U.S. Armed Forces the world’s largest single collection of porn stars and dating pool on Earth and then use them to open fire on known Christians then we need to exercise some discretion in who we talk to and how much we tell. (This has "bisexual double agent’ written all over it.)

But seriously folks- I really do wonder how FRC would respond to “The exact same rhetoric was used when the army was racially integrated”. My guess would be their response would be “And your point is…?”.
