Right Wing Raving Homophobia Watch

Oh, for Pete’s sake. Today’s winner in the right wing raving homophobe sweepstakes: Peter Sprigg of James Dobson’s ultra-fundamentalist Family Research Council, with a superheated fantasy about a military turned into a non-stop orgy of gay rape. The proposed repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is working the theocrats into a fine lather.

Family Research Council: End Of DADT Means More Gay Rape In The Military.

Here’s how the Family Research Council envisions things going if Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is repealed: first, more straight soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines will be fellated in their sleep against their will. Then, commanders afraid of being labeled homophobes will refuse to do anything about it. Eventually, the straight service members will quit out of fear.

On a conference call with reporters today, FRC Senior Fellow for Policy Studies Peter Sprigg delivered the results of what he said was the first-ever study of “homosexual assault” in themilitary. Joined by several former military officers opposed to allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the armed forces, he warned Congress that the DADT repeal language currently under discussion with the agreement of the White House will turn the U.S.military into a terrifying free-rape zone where no heterosexual is safe.

“We are today releasing an analysis of publicly available documents which show that homosexuals in the military are three times more likely to commit sexual assaults than heterosexuals are relative to their numbers,” Sprigg said. “We believe this problem would only increase if the current law against homosexuality…were to be repealed.”
