http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/17/hate-group-leader-open-homosexuality-caused-secret-service-scandal/The leader of an anti-LGBT rights group on Monday said a scandal where Secret Service agents were caught with female prostitutes in Columbia was actually the fault of open homosexuality in our military.
Speaking to conservative radio host Janet Mefferd, Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council a hate group, according the the Southern Poverty Law Center connected the prostitution scandal to the repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell.
Just for a moment step back and look at the implications of this, over the weekend we saw the news of the Presidents Secret Service detail in Colombia and the issue of them hiring prostitutes and now the White House is outraged about that, Perkins observed. It was actually legal; it was legal there to do that, so why should we be upset? Well, the fact is we intuitively know its wrong, theres a moral law against that.

This must be the thoughts of a creationist as well since logic is a foreign concept to them too.

(35,042 posts)7. Yep, that's why the FRC is a hate group
When you have logic of "The secret service acted inappropriately... and I blame it on gays", it certainly isn't love.

they might be more concerned with the Service's reputation and that they weren't looking out for the things they're paid to do.
