Peter Sprig a Senior Fellow for Policy at the Family Research Council is opposed to gays in the military and he made known three significant opinions of his and his organization (thanks to his interview on Hardball with Chris Matthews):
- Gays should not legally be allowed to serve in the military.
- Example: A 22-year-old gay person should only serve in civilian capacities.
- The U.S. should outlaw gay behavior.
"I think there would be a place for criminal sanctions against homosexual behavior."
– Peter Sprig
I hear over and over again that Christians do not hate gays, they simply hate their behaviors. Furthermore, I hear constantly that homosexuals are not being denied any rights. Sprig is advocating for the rights of gays to serve be denied and that we bring back sodomy laws and prosecute homosexuals for their bedroom behaviors. How does that "love the sinner, hate the sin" thing go again?
Two top military leaders testified on Capital Hill today that gays should be able to serve openly in the military. Apparently, he's not afraid that soldiers will leave the military en mass if they are forced to serve next to gay soldiers, as Sprig seems to think. Haven't gays always served in the military (and other soldiers aware of it)? Didn't people make the same arguments when women entered the military?
Watch the Hardball interview. Sprig was blunt about his beliefs.
