See, most people don't have to worry about living in a world where accidentally letting hate speeches slip in the middle of conversation is a crime because no sane person has that problem to begin with.

For the last time, there is no fucking gay agenda! Only idiot fundies could see a minority group of people seeking equal rights as an attack on theirs and persecution.

Because getting told you're a bigot TOTALLY compares to being beaten to a bloody pulp.

'Military Chaplaincy' is a bit of an odd concept anyway. Every time I hear the phrase I think of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch...

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Christian chaplains have the right to express the tenets of their faith. If those tenets include a condemnation of homosexuality, and the chaplain thinks that's an appropriate way to minister to a homosexual, he's free to do that. For example, there is nothing wrong with a Roman Catholic priest telling a homosexual communicant that the RC church believes that homosexuality is condemned by God. That's a tenet of the faith.
"Hate crimes" don't include expressing a negative opinion about homosexuality. They only include committing an actual criminal offense against someone (e.g., beating them up) because they're a homosexual.

The end of military chaplaincy as we know it? Sheesh, give me a break. As long as there are Christians in the military who want to attend religious services, or just want the guidance of someone of their faith (which is only natural considering that they are in the military) then there will be chaplains. But that doesn't fit into your persecution complex, does it?

What if the chaplain is Episcopal? Last I recall, they even have homosexual bishops and yet they still count as a mainline Christian sect.

And then, it didnt happen.
The end.
Just like all the other predictions of doom made by ignorants.
Wonder why so many christians are ignorant?
Answer: Its because the ones with knowledge and intelligence stopped being christians once they were unable to rationalize their faith in a childish fairytale.

Oh Iddums Boo! You aren't allowed to tell someone they are going to burn in hell? Oh wait, military chaplains aren't allowed to do that anyhow, so what the fuck is your problem?

There is no gay agenda. However, there is a fundy agenda.

If "a slip of the tongue" is enough to get you charged with a hate crime, perhaps that's a sign you should be thinking before you open your mouth.

If hating a group of people that has done nothing wrong is such a central belief of a religion, we're better off without it.

Being a Christian chaplain is an absurd concept, anyway. Sure, there was a lot of righteous slaughter in the OT. In the NT, not so much.

If criminalizing bigotry is the goal..
Then GO GAY AGENDA!!!
Funny how they forget something about that "Lame duck" congress.
They have no reason to kiss the Fundi's asses anymore. DADT repel was giving them the middle finger on the way out.
Republicans will spend half their time trying to find a way to put it back in because the fundis will be screeching at them until they do.

Get ready for being accused of a hate crime and losing your job, even your freedom, if you have a slip of the tongue at work or anywhere in public over over gay marriage and any gay-related issue.
I know, it's terrible isn't it? Racists can't refuse to work with black employees, sexists can't tell their female coworkers to go back to the kitchen, anti-semites can't call their Jewish coworkers greedy, and no homophobes can't talk shit about gay people. What's next? Not being able to call an atheist coworker evil? Or not being able to call a middle eastern coworker a terrorist? These damn evil liberals won't stop until EVERYONE is treated equally and who are the insecure, immature bigots supposed to pick on then?
