When students at Norwich University crowed their prom queen, something was missing. That something was a girl. Hello, I'm Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. America's oldest private military academy says it prides itself on being unconventional--and last month's "gay prom" proved it. School officials said they wanted to have an "open dialogue" on homosexuality--but what they really had was a party. Unfortunately, this is America's new military. When the President wanted to overturn "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," he didn't talk about flying rainbow flags at Afghan bases or asking chaplains to perform gay "weddings." He didn't mention banning Christian speakers at military academies, tearing down crosses at Camp Pendleton, or pulling Scripture out of Army curriculum. What he said was it's time to let homosexuals be true to who they are. And who they are is a community that thinks promiscuity is something to celebrate. Norwich's "free love dance" and "condom Olympics" aren't tolerance. They're deviance. And a school of young, strong cadets deserve better.

Tony. Fuck you. I mean this sincerely.
As far as I am concerned, a soldier is a soldier, a good one is good, a bad one is bad.
Your Christian Soldier fantasy can march Onward right over the edge of a cliff.
Tony has to have something to frighten people with every week, otherwise they don't send him money, which is what this is about, and all it is about.
Also, party on.
I love it how this shitstain doesn't even bother to hide his hypocrisy and contempt of anyone different from him. Even the motto on the website itself reveals this: "Advancing Faith, Family and Freedom".
Faith, as long as your faith doesn't contradict mine; anyone who says their faith advocates tolerance of others isn't allowed.
Family, but only heterosexual two-parent families; any other type of family isn't a "real" family.
Freedom, but only freedom for those people who think exactly like me; everyone else can go fuck themselves.
I'm not even going to bother to address the submission itself, because just from a glance I see nothing but lies, prejudice and stereotypes. Yes Perkins, the icky gays actually have some rights now. Get over it.
" He didn't mention banning Christian speakers at military academies, tearing down crosses at Camp Pendleton, or pulling Scripture out of Army curriculum."
That's because none of that was in the plans. That was only in your persecution fantasies.
Why don't you join your fellow mujahideen in al-queda, they hate homos too.

These things are First Amendment issues. They have nothing to do with DADT.
You know what? I'm actually starting to wish that you fundies are right about the persecution thing. I'm starting to wish the president DOES start tearing down crosses and churches. I'm starting to hope that you assholes ARE silenced and banned from speaking at public events. I'm starting to hope that you ARE treated as second class citizens, the way you've treated every other minority out there. I know it'll never happen, I know that we don't want to give the government that kind of power, and I know that I believe in freedom enough that I won't be involved in any such movement but if it happened I'd find it very difficult to feel any sympathy for you and I'd be unlikely to help you in any way. It pains me to think that I can be so apathetic to anyone's freedom being taken away but that's how I feel and I also feel that if it DID happen, you and your ilk would have brought it upon yourselves.
Shut up Tony. Your screed is the perfect example of why no one asked for your opinion. Please disappear up your own asshole and take the rest of the alleged Family Research Council with you. I know you've never been able to get past the neck, but I swear, if you just get one arm up there with your head, the rest will follow.
@ dionysus
I want to thank you, you pretty much stated word for word what I have been thinking for some time. You are right though, we can't allow that to happen, and we need to remove the power the government already has that's allowed them to do that to all our fellow Americans. Minorities of all kinds, and women as a whole have been oppressed by the zealots, we need to make sure the zealots don't get knocked TOO far down.
"Surely scripture being part of the army curriculum is a giant fucking waste of time, as it has nothing to do with the army."
Unless you want to pull the stuff out of the OT where the soldiers get to massacre all the elderly, married women and boys, then kidnap the virgin girls and rape them. I'm sure that would be a valuable lesson in field tactics.
You know, it's funny. I live close enough to the Norwich campus that it's literally right across the street. I can see it from my window. My grandfather was a professor there. I don't remember there being any gigantic controversies over homosexuality or anything lately. You'd think, considering my proximity, that I'd have heard about it if anyone thought this was a big deal, but apparently nobody cares.
Hey, Tony...did you know you share the same name with a certain gay horror movie actor?
Maybe that's fundie Perkins "Freudian excuse".
Psycho & Frothy...anti-LGBT one-issue wonks! JUST COME OUTTA THE FREAKIN' CLOSET, ALREADY!
"Norwich's "free love dance" and "condom Olympics" aren't tolerance. They're deviance."
Oh god, it's something different!
KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT
Isn't it always the ones that never served that complain about gays in the military and God being taken out of our military? Anyone that has ever been in knows there were always homosexuals in, sure they hid it but when you spend enough time with a person you can often figure it out. Gay people are just as boring as straight people, the only exception is when they make self disparaging humor to mock stereotypes. Also, the military accommodates numerous religions, I knew many Muslims, Pagans, Mormons, and Atheists and were good friends too. Though after the last decade, many have seen the overt hypocrisy and utter BS from religion and have become "apostates."

That's cos all that shit is either mentioned in the Constitution, part of what any sane, egalitarian country would do, or more likely, both.
Maybe we need to celebrate promiscuity more than we really are. Thanks, Tony.
Gang, let's throw a promiscuity party! Clothing optional, of course...
I'll bring the condoms!
And who they are is a community that thinks promiscuity is something to celebrate.
And straight people aren't? Try going to Cancun or Panama City, FL in mid-late March.
I was in the Army for 12 years. Scripture has never been part of any curriculum I was ever exposed to, and I went through two MOS schools, language training, and various NCO development courses.
And the straight people don't think promiscuity (as you define it) is something to celebrate? Hahahah
".... or pulling Scripture out of Army curriculum."
Silly Perkins, that's not what you pull scripture out of!
Hey, Tony, promiscuity is celebrated among heterosexuals too. You'd probably argue that homosexuals made that happen, though.
These people are so out-of-touch with the youth culture today.
hmm...
Victim complex: check.
Rabid grudge against delusional wrongs which never occurred: check.
Halfhearted attempt to inflame the crowd and rally the horde to bring back the Olden Ways: check.
All he lacks is Tupac, who would smite teh gheyz with rap magic! REMOVE RAINBOW FROM THE PREMISES!!!!

Yes, and the straight soldiers live in near celibacy. All the "training" films about venereal disease are just for medical knowledge. And all the whore houses near army and navy bases never have any business.
Damn it, Bob Hope made more jokes about promiscuity in the military 40 years ago than anybody would dare to today.
You said it, damn straight, The persecution of Christians marches steadily on led by the ursurper in chief, Obongo boy the nig commie and his tranny wife, Moochie, Remember one thing, You stand beside great men when you give your life for Christ and He will not forget it. so Live for nothing or Die for something.
or pulling Scripture out of Army curriculum.
I was in the military around 20 years ago, and never once was any kind of religious training part of any curriculum.
And who they are is a community that thinks promiscuity is something to celebrate.
If you don't think that heterosexual servicemembers think that promiscuity is something to celebrate, you should hang out in an Army barracks and listen to the after hours talk.
Norwich's "free love dance" and "condom Olympics" aren't tolerance. They're deviance.
Don't like it? Then don't attend.
You know, I really don't care what Norwich University does; you shouldn't either. If you think it's wrong, then you don't do it.
Understand how that works?
what do you care what happens in the mortal world anyways? when you die, you will go to heaven, and the homosexuals will burn forever, right? so why not let them have their happy lives? you get to be happy for eternity, right after you die, right?
{What he said was it's time to let homosexuals be true to who they are. And who they are is a community that thinks promiscuity is something to celebrate. }
Concocting lies out of an event that had nothing to do with said lies. Well this is just a whole new level of bigotry for you isn't it Mr. Perkins? Then again, I'm probably just being very naive here. Please, begone with your bitter essence and sickening, gall based opinions.
Tearing down the crosses at Camp Pendleton had nothing to do with homosexuality; neither did protesting Boyd, an open bigot that thinks only Christians have rights in the U.S., have anything to do with homosexuality.
Hey Tony, you have homosexuality on the brain. Either you're "latent" or are losing your mind because you're losing on this big time.
Oh, honey, go look up, in this order, the following:
The First Amendment
The Treaty of Tripoli
Homosexuality
Same-sex marriage
The Sacred Band of Thebes
Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Then rethink your paradigms.
I'm just going to say RIGHT NOW, that YOU SIR, may go FUCK OFF.
When you learn to look at REALITY, you may come back and talk.
a school of young, strong cadets
A school of young, strong, handsome, muscular cadets with wide shoulders, chiseled abs, tight firm buttocks...excuse me, I'm just going to step out of the studio for a few minutes...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
