United We Stand

Finally, another year is behind us and a new one has begun. But sadly, we're still faced with unresolved issues from the year before. Take for instance: Don't Ask Don't Tell. This repeal is still being debated by countless organizations, as if this was the worst change in history. Yet what baffles me is knowing how many of our troops don't agree with this change.

I thought one of the reasons anyone becomes an active part of the military is to defend the rights of the citizens of their country; to serve and protect.

Yes, many homosexuals are sexual predators, but so are females, who prey upon men for security. Much like men who prey upon women; it's our natural desire to yearn for intimacy of the flesh; after all,it feels good!

However, some are arguing that it's insane to allow gays in the military because of the fact that many will begin pursuing those they have crushes on, without concerns for the right to privacy or the right to be left alone.

But the 4th Amendment of the Bill of Rights extends the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects...

Additionally, the 14th Amendment Section 1, extends the right to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, who are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. That no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law.

Therefore, depriving homosexuals the right to life and happiness is a defiance of this constitution. Moreoever, it's criminal. To advocate evil with ignorance based on a lack of clarity regarding the personal desires, identity, or needs of one person over another, is wicked and inhumane.


Luckily, we have a President today, who has demonstrated a compassionate heart for all of God's creations, without prejudice. Out of forty-two years, I have never heard any President speak so kindly and respectful for same-sex loving people, and we should thank him for that. Finally, someone has taken a stand to speak the God honest truth, and relinquish the vile wickedness this country has been forced to endure for countless years.

Unfortunately, there are only so many years in a presidential term, so our best bet is to pray that God continues shining his ever lasting light down upon the hearts of our nation leaders; and instill the same level of grace, compassion, and empathy in their hearts. Or else, everything Obama has extended unto the LGBT community will have been done in vain.
