Top U.S. Military General Calls Homosexuality 'Immoral'

Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the top military officer in the United States was quoted by the Chicago Tribune saying he believes homosexuality is immoral and supports the current "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.

"I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts."

"I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way."

"As an individual, I would not want [acceptance of gay behavior] to be our policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy that if we were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with somebody else's wife, that we would just look the other way, which we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behavior."

So the top military officer in the United States equates homosexuality with adultery. And apparently he is not alone among the top brass in holding these views.

Happily, Congressman Martin Meehan (D-MA) has introduced a bill (H.R. 1246) to repeal the Pentagon's policy on homosexuality which currently has over 100 co-sponsors.
