The Senate Armed Services Committee approved S. 1867, the National Defense Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCM). Article 125 makes it illegal to engage in either sodomy with humans or sex with animals.
So basically, anal sex between two men or a man and a woman was illegal until now. There must have been an orgy or incident several years back warranting a bill to make this a crime along with having sex with animals. Must have been a hell of a party.
I am glad the military is finally allowing two men to have sex if they want to and I sure hope they add “consensual” in the wording but they need to take animals out of the verbiage.
As of yet I couldn’t find a reputable news story link but if you put in a search you’ll find all kinds of talk about this, including news sources in other countries so I’m pretty sure it’s true.
According to some “blogs” there will be chapels and priests set up to marry same sex people if they want to tie the knot. If all this is true, I am personally glad to see it. I’m not sure how Bloggers got that out of this repeal but hopefully they are correct on this information. It’s about time LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered) had the same rights as everyone else.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with part of this bill I just don’t like it that they combined sodomy with bestiality.
You know what will happen, animal rights advocates will get involved, as they well should, and they’ll reinstate the old bill. They’ll blame it on PETA that homosexuals can’t have nuptial agreements or conjugal visits when it shouldn’t be linked to animals in the first place.
Personally, I have a much easier time thinking a couple of guys are loving each other than to try and picture drunk soldiers molesting livestock but some people have their priorities screwed up. They need to give homosexuals their own bill separate from animals.
Of course the religious nuts are all in an uproar, ranting about how everyone is going to hell in a hand basket. We knew that was inevitable.
It’s about time we stop making gay men feel like animals and include them in society. They are human just like the rest of us. They love and have feelings and deserve to be treated with respect.
If a person is willing to protect our country and put their life in danger everyday the least we can do is make them feel appreciated and treat them with dignity and letting them love whomever they choose is a good start.
