Christian infantry officer stripped of position, accused of expressing 'hatred' for LGBT people

5th time:

I don’t support or not support promiscuity. I support people owning their sex lives and acting in a way that involves consent. If that means you die celibate, awesome. If that means you die having had 100 partners, awesome. It is not my job or particularly my interest to monitor or involve myself in other people’s sex lives. The only relevance that the number of partners one has had has for me is influencing if I would have sex with them, the rest is their business.

She supports promiscuity.

Well let me ask. What does Christianity teach concerning promiscuity?

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

She supports promiscuity.

That much is evident.

But if it's as normal as you suggest, why do they feel the need to turn it into such a big event? Why not live normally?

Why does my town’s German club have an Oktoberfest every September? Why does the local school have an alumni week? Why does our cancer hospital have a huge festival weekend? Because they’re fun. Because they’re proud. Because they want to connect with people of similar interests. Because they’re raising money. Because why not?

I'm not the one who's fixated on these things. You're the one who consistently comments on a Christian forum, intentionally stirring up controversy, fully aware that your view isn't the widely accepted Christian perspective.

Actually; statistically speaking mine is the widely accepted Christian perspective.

Actually, I get out plenty and I talk to plenty of people and most of the people I know (I know a lot of people) think it’s weird.

I also know a lot of people too and I’ve never heard a single person describe gay people as “weird,” much less that thinking something is “weird” is the basis for legation.

So back to the op and away from people’s sexual conquests….

The subordinate who filed the complaint claimed that the officer’s speech showed “just how much [the officer] truly hates the LGBTQ community.” Liberty Counsel disagreed with this assessment, arguing that the officer believes everyone is made in God’s image and cares for those under his command, regardless of religious or political differences.

“Soldiers who identify as LGBTQ are required to tolerate Christians in the military workplace and may not file false EO Complaints or other charges against superior officers (or subordinates) because they disagree with protected religious or political speech,” Liberty Counsel stated in its lengthy letter to the governor.

“False charges like these interfere with good order and discipline. Here, the dichotomy between ‘speech for me, but not for thee’ could not be more evident: the baseless and discriminatory AR 15-6 investigation stems from a false EO complaint filed against the Officer by a subordinate senior enlisted man, because the officer had the temerity to speak his religious and political beliefs in public outside of the military context.”

Following the complaint, the Idaho Army National Guard removed the officer from command and initially agreed to lift the flag on the officer’s file, allowing him to resign without penalty and fulfill his duties in Wyoming.

She supports promiscuity.

I do? News to me.

Hey, @Sunflower39 , I will be leaving this thread, cos I can not stand folks promoting blatantly public promiscuity, or sexual relations outside of marriage. But yes, be careful in this woke world, and protect your children at all costs. It will only get worse as the Great Tribulation gets nearer.

That he who is without sin should cast the first stone.

I mean, it’s what you want to believe, but certainly not what I said.

Yes, you do.

I requested this thread be closed. It’s way off the rails now and going nowhere.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

So should heterosexuals have a special day just for being heterosexual then?

Days where they can publicly declare and celebrate their relationship structure? Yes, lots of them, but seeing as they are a majority and not a minority, a pride event would be odd.

Ok, so show me some statistics then.

On what?

I didn’t describe gay people as weird. However, I think it’s weird when a man dresses up like a lady and prances around in ladies lingerie claiming to be a woman and expecting people to address him as her/she. Most real women just don’t go out dressing and behaving like that. Of course there are a few exceptions but in general, NO.

Real women don’t wear dresses or lingerie or expect people to call her she/her? LoL, ok.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Yes, you do.

Show me where I said it then.

Is promiscuity a sin though?

Thank you Alex. I’m leaving now too. I don’t want to spend any more time debating with someone who clearly opposes Christian morals and values.

One cannot choose to be gay either.

I’m saying that you’re hyperfixated on the trope that gay men cheat and that makes them gross, so by that logic, heterosexual marriages are gross too as a large number of those experience cheating.

Behavior is a choice. Period.

 

[RileyG]

Nobody is asking you to approve of it. Frankly, they don’t care if you approve or not. They’re asking to not be marginalized or treated differently. It’s not that big an ask.

So? It’s an alternate lifestyle, of course they’re going to be treated differently.

 

[RileyG]

Your loss and frankly more close minded than I would have expected coming from you. We don’t agree on a lot, but I definitely wouldn’t have pinned you as a “ew gross, gay people” type. I had you as more of a “I don’t like it, I don’t agree with it, but I would still be friends with or worship with them because that’s how you do witness and outreach” type.

NGL, kinda bums me out a bit. It’s not like you.

Let me re word myself. I don’t care who someone sleeps with. It’s literally none of my business.

I could literally meet anyone.

Maybe I came off as too harsh. My bad.

 

[RileyG]

Oh, were we so worried about “infecting others” when COVID was a thing.

Again, of all the things to worry about getting from sex, mpox isn’t it.

I’m fully vaccinated and wore a mask.

Nice try though.

 

[RileyG]

Why do they have to have pride events then? If they just wanted to be treated fairly and equally, they wouldn’t make a big song and dance about it. They would be protesting instead. They’re having big parades instead with men prancing around dressed in ladies lingerie, it’s so weird.

Yup. My thoughts exactly.
