Just saw an amazing segment on “Hardball” on the topic of DADT (Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell) including Peter Sprigg of the Christian conservative Family Research Council during which Mr. Sprigg claimed that gays and lesbians should: a) not be allowed to join the US military, and; b) contrary to Lawrence v. Texas (2003), states should be legally able to criminalize homosexual conduct.
I’ll give Mr. Sprigg credit for one thing: unlike many of Chris Mathews’ guests who often duck direct answers to direct questions, he openly did so when asked his stances on DADT and homosexual behavior as a legal concept.
Sprigg is also fully entitled to his First Amendment rights.
However, by the same token, I am free to retort that Mr. Sprigg’s statements above are rooted in the fucking Dark Ages, or Berlin circa 1938 (whichever you prefer).
