Christian Activist Says ‘There’s No Proof’ LGBT People Exist

Linda Harvey, the founder of Mission America, says that LGBT people don’t exist. She made the comments during her weekend broadcast while she was attacking the Gay, Lesbian, And Straight Education Network.

Harvey was particularly perturbed by the GLSEN Sports Program which works towards “creating and maintaining an athletic and physical education climate that is based on the core principles of respect, safety and equal access for all students, teachers and coaches regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.”

Harvey believes there is no need for such a program because according to her, there is no proof that LGBT people exist.

Harvey: “There’s one big fact that’s not backed up. There is no proof that there’s ever anything like a gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered child, or teen or human. One of the other things you’re gonna see as I mentioned is a big campaign GLSEN’s gonna roll out this year calling for ‘respect,’ respect! Not just for people, but for homosexual lifestyle. The PR campaign to hold up gay as a good thing: the lifestyle, not the person, because there are no such humans.”

The "tools" are not used to remedy the drama, but to discharge gay service members for being gay. Discharge straight service members for the same drama and you might have a point, only problem is you can't kick somone out for the petty drama shit that you brought up. Double standard indeed.

You obviously haven't spent any time in the military. Straight service members have been kicked out for this.

So what's the fucking problem? If two gay soldiers make the unit less effective, punish them for it. Just as you would (or at least should, unlike your specific example) in the case of a straight pair up.
