Far Religious Right Group, Headed by Cliff Kincaid, Says if DADT Repealed "Gay Blood" Will Taint Military

What is with these religious right hypocrites? According to Christian Newswire, Cliff Kincaid is pushing a vile 10-minute video from America's Survival Inc., entitled "Asking for Trouble," which seeks to explain why the admission of open and active homosexuals in the U.S. military could result in the spread of HIV-tainted blood on the battlefield where other soldiers could come into contact with their tainted blood and bodily fluids. Er, aren't gay men already serving in the military? Have you ever heard of a heterosexual who contracted the disease on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan? It should be noted that gay men are currently banned from donating blood, but the FDA's Federal Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability will consider the issue in meetings June 10 and 11 in Rockville, MD.

Also lost on Mr. Kincaid is the fact that all would-be soldiers must undergo mandatory HIV screening and are not allowed to serve if the results show they are positive. He cited that fact, but I guess he's having a problem interpreting the information. He states,

19,000 have tested positive after they joined and some have clearly acquired the the deadly disease by engaging in prohibited gay sex. In one case, a HIV-positive soldier infected a 17-year old boy he met in a gay online chat room.

As sad as this is, how is this comparable to one soldier infecting another? I can state with conviction that the scenario he is painting is flawed and rarely occurs. Cliff Kincaid and America's Survival, Inc. are nothing more than hatemongers who want to push their brand of interpretation of the Scriptures on every American.

"A vote to repeal the homosexual exclusion policy would inevitably mean more disease and death for members of our Armed Forces," stated Cliff Kincaid, the veteran journalist who runs ASI. "It is unconscionable to add this danger to the risks they already face in fighting for our freedom around the world.

Another danger, the video explains, would be the admission of transgendered individuals who want to dress up as members of the opposite sex and would cry "discrimination" if they are not allowed to do so.

"If Congress repeals the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' homosexual exclusion policy," declared Kincaid, "Corporal Klinger could become a reality in the Armed Forces." Klinger was the bizarre character on the MASH comedy show that dressed up as a woman so that he could be kicked out of the service.

As the vote in Congress draws near, Kincaid predicted that the pro-homosexual liberal media will deliberately ignore the fact that a decision to repeal the policy would mean that gay soldiers could be put in the position of donating infected blood to other soldiers in desperate need of blood transfusions.

This vile attack amounts to nothing more than fear-mongering. It should be noted that another rightwing religious group, the Family Research Council, mouthpiece Peter Sprigg, has issued a warning that repealing DADT, "will turn the U.S. military into a free-rape zone where no heterosexual is safe and "will be fellated in their sleep against their will," with commanders rendered powerless to resist.
