George Rekers' former organization: DADT repeal will lead to rampant raping

Germany has raped France numerous times.

She wanted it. Look at how she was showing off her Alsace.

Did it never occur to anyone to check the military rape statistics of countries whose militaries allow openly-gay people to serve? Such as, I dunno, Argentina, Australia, Austia, Belgium, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, the Philippines, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or Uruguay? Link.

Why would they bother with actual facts? I don’t see how that would suit their purposes at all.

I just saw a guy on TV swear that gay soldiers will sneak up on sleeping GI’s and suck them off. I am not making this up. I couldn’t make this up.

And the Balkans a few times, but there they did use Greece!

[waterj2]

Making the FRC look sane, we have American’s Survival Inc. claiming that repealing DADT will lead to our servicemembers being tainted with disease-ridden gay blood.

I don’t know if Episcopalians have confession, Poly, but you better go…

Episcopalians don’t believe in Hell, just sort of an eternal Pledge Week.

Is rape of female soldiers that commonplace?

From what I’ve heard, yes. I recall reading a news story a while back about American female soldiers in Iraq being told to be armed at all times and to travel in groups due to the high risk of rape by their fellow soldiers. And that some were suffering from dehydration do to avoiding the water supplies, because that was a favored place for rapists to lie in wait. In general from everything I’ve read over the years sexual assault of various degrees by American male soldiers on female soldiers is pretty common.

I can’t recall ever hearing of homosexual assaults though.

Was the guy Eric Massa?

Gotta love this logic:

As the vote in Congress draws near, Kincaid predicted that the pro-homosexual liberal media will deliberately ignore the fact that a decision to repeal the policy would mean that gay soldiers could be put in the position of donating infected blood to other soldiers in desperate need of blood transfusions.

Of course, not repealing the policy means that gay soldiers are mostly in the closet and might be… expected to donate blood to other soldiers.

Note to Whackjobs: THE GAYS ARE ALREADY IN THE MILITARY! This just lets them be open about thier sexuality. So if it isn’t happening now it won’t be after either.

Yes, but being gay doesn’t give you AIDS.

Being openly gay gives you AIDS. Duh!

Of course they are. If they weren’t I wouldn’t have all these DVDs showing scenes of where the soldiers are drinking beers and then one thing leads to another and suddenly they’re all having sex with each other, would I?

If you follow the link to the “study” cited in the OP’s article, it says just that.

I think I’ve seen that movie, except it was sororities and women.

If I could derail a Pit thread with an actual thought for a second, I would speculate that, in fact, that same sex sexual assault in the military is more prevelant than opposite sex sexual assault. The reason is simply that there are many, many more males to victimize than females, and that “rape”, especially male on male, has little to nothing to do with actual sexual preference.

Reading further in the article this seems basically right. The classes of things that he was calling rape, would seem to be more along the lines of fratboy pranks (teabagging and the like). Definately things that should be discouraged, but not indications of any homosexual orientation.

I once saw a handheld video of a group of soldiers gathered around the bunk of a sleeping troopmate, who was sporting an erection. The were, in all honesty, videotaping themselves poking it to see if it moved, and giggling. DADT or not, I’m pretty sure that when you gather beer and young men en mass, something will happen to the first sleeping man, and it will involve someone’s genitals.

I have often thought that the reason some heterosexual service men are against openly gay service men among their ranks is they are afraid gay service men will treat them the way they have treated their female comrades.

This story comes complete with a meaningless comment by Retired Colonel Dick Black.

Are we sure this isn’t like a viral web ad for Army Boys Gone Wild or something?
