AFTAH Defends Gen. Peter Pace Against Latest Homosexual Attack

‘Gay’ groups condemn Bush for giving general Presidential Medal of Freedom

“General Pace did nothing wrong in stating his moral and religious opposition to homosexual acts as immoral….Pace also said adultery is wrong, and yet I don’t see two ‘pro-adultery’ organizations out condemning him.” –Peter LaBarbera, Americans For Truth

Here is more evidence of the sheer hatred that fanatical homosexual activists have for Judeo-Christian teachings on sex. Gen. Peter Pace’s “crime”? He affirmed the historic teachings of his Catholic faith that homosexual sex is immoral. You’d have to be blind or brainwashed not to see the goal of homosexual militants: intimidate good people and especially public servants into silence on the moral question of homosexual practice. AFTAH is mentioned in the following Cybercast News Service article, “Homosexual Activists Oppose Medal for Retired General,” excerpted below:

Homosexual Activists Oppose Medal for Retired General

(CNSNews.com) – Two homosexual advocacy groups are criticizing the decision to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired General Peter Pace. He’ll be honored on Thursday.

“Honoring General Pace with the country’s highest civilian award is outrageous, insensitive and disrespectful to the 65,000 lesbian and gay troops currently serving on active duty in the armed forces,” said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), in a news release on Wednesday. …

“Honoring General Pace for using his personal prejudice to meddle with military matters is just plain wrong,” PFLAG [Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays] added. “There should be no medal for bigotry and intolerance.”

Both PFLAG and the SLDN criticized Pace for comments he made during an interview with the Chicago Tribune in May 2007, when the general remarked: “I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts,” including adultery. …

However, Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth — a group devoted to opposing “gay” activism — told Cybercast News Service on Wednesday that he was “stunned” by the homosexual lobby’s self-centeredness and vindictiveness in trashing Pace as he was about to be honored for his service to America.

“General Pace did nothing wrong in stating his moral and religious opposition to homosexual acts as immoral,” LaBarbera said. “Pace also said adultery is wrong, and yet I don’t see two ‘pro-adultery’ organizations out condemning him.

“These petty attacks on a good man’s character by PFLAG and the SLDN are just more evidence that homosexual activists put their selfish and misguided cause way above the national interest,” he stated.

“If we’ve come to the point in this country where our leaders cannot answer a question about homosexuality for fear of being demonized by the ‘Gay Thought Police,’ then we’ve lost the very freedom that Gen. Pace defended — and for which our heroic men and women in the armed forces paid the ultimate price to protect,” he added.

LaBarbera said PFLAG and SLDN should apologize to Gen. Pace “for using this moment when we as a nation honor our national leaders — so they could make a cheap point for a bad cause: bringing open homosexuality into the military during a time of war.”

Pace will join five other persons in receiving the Medal on Thursday, including: Benjamin Carson, M.D., for improving the lives “of those suffering from neurological disorders;” Anthony Fauci, M.D., for advancing “our understanding and treatment of HIV/AIDS;” and Tom Lantos, “the only Holocaust survivor to serve in the Congress.”
