Will Senate Surrender Pentagon Social Policies to the “LGBT Left?”
In response to congressional votes to repeal the 1993 law regarding homosexuals in the military, followed by the White House proclamation that June is “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered Equality” month, Center for Military Readiness President Elaine Donnelly issued the following statement:
“Last week, Democrats knew they would lose the vote if it took place later in the year, after the Pentagon’s review. President Obama crafted a backroom deal so that he could deliver on his campaign promises to the doctrinaire LGBT Left. A sufficient number of lawmakers fell for the Repeal Deal, which was signed by President Obama’s budget director and passed off as a ‘compromise.’ Allowing only five minutes of debate for each side, House liberals did the president’s bidding and rushed the vote to repeal the 1993 law, Section 654, Title 10, mislabeled “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT).”
Donnelly continued, “With breathtaking sophistry and arrogance, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rammed through legislation to repeal the law while denying its predetermined consequences. During the brief debate period, no one made a single credible argument justifying the radical change. Active-duty troops are expected to pay a huge price so that President Barack Obama can deliver on his campaign promise during LGBT Equality Month.” (Download PDF for full content)
