LOL: Tony Perkins of the family research council is very upset



That's the gay pride flag flying over a military installation in Afghanistan.

Tony Perkins of the family research council is very upset:

PERKINS: Where is the concern now for angering Afghan Muslims, who vehemently oppose homosexuality? The issue is as much an issue of military security as it is of religious morality. After February’s accident with the Korans, American lives were lost. What price will we pay because some want to use the military to show their gay pride?

I don't care if he's offended by the actions of those who are risking their lives. Where was his indignity over Abu Grehab (spelling?)?

PEACE!

Mr. Perkins could become Private Perkins and show us all how a proper soldier is supposed to act. Or, he can have:

“hubbie in afghanistan raising a gay pride flag = )” she wrote.
