Gay Rights Group Calls For General Pace Apology

   Marine Gen. Peter Pace said compared homosexuality to adultery in a newspaper interview yesterday and he also said that the military shouldn't condone it by letting the gays serve openly in the military.

   So, as is usual, a gay advocacy groups spoke up about it and said that General Pace should say " sorry " for calling homosexuality immoral.

   The gay advocacy group, Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, said on it's website that, “General Pace’s comments are outrageous, insensitive and disrespectful to the 65,000 lesbian and gay troops now serving in our armed forces."

   In his interview with The Chicago Tribune,General Pace said,  "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.” Source

  I have a suggestion for this gay rights group. Why don't you just get over it and go find something worthwhile to cry about, okay? General Pace was doing an interview and he was asked about the "don't ask, don't tell" policy so he answered the question. I do not think that you can make a comment on the policy without having a personal opinion in the first place so should he have just said something like " no comment "?
