(to Clark Park) I am not really surprised when you see homoerotic.messages where normal people don't.
More proof that you never stop to educate yourself before posting.
"In 1776, von Steuben was forced to leave due to rumors of alleged homosexuality and accusations of his having taken improper liberties with boys. Though no proof exists regarding von Steuben's sexual orientation, the stories proved sufficiently powerful to compel him to seek new employment."
I guess you don't understand there have ALWAYS been Gays and Lesbians serving with honor in the Military.
An enemy isn't going to care the sexual orientation of the person pointing a gun at them.
It's a known fact of history, Ceaser's armies were alway encouraged to be homosexual, that's how they were kept together, Napoleon was well aware of this and also encouraged homosexuality in his armies. Of course, Napoleon thought he was Ceaser.
You guys all seem to have major problem with the simplest concepts like respect.
Of course you can respect your enemy the same way boxers respect their opponents in the ring. The worst is to lose respect of your opponents and that what gays in us military are causing.
Respect is something that you earn and gay soldiers don't command any respect from anybody.
REALLY ?? Again, there have always been Homosexuals in the military.
Seems the Israeli military hasn't lost ANY respect have they?

Respect is something that you earn, something that you command and gay soldiers don't command any respect from anybody.
It's raison btw, it stands for reason, as do I.
Why don't gay soldiers command respect? Do they have to wear rainbow uniforms? Do they not shoot straight? Is there something about them that would openly tell everyone that they were gay? Do you know how many gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders have served honorably in the military? Nope you don't, but there have been quite a few. Why don't we know? Because of the Don't ask, don't tell rule. Members of the LGBT community have served, fought, and died for this country. By disrespecting an LGBT soldier you are disrespecting all soldiers. Please, don't do that. Every soldier that has served their country with honer deserves respect, regardless of religion, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality or any other social label.
That statue is also known among local humorists as "Gay Adoptee at Halloween."
Do you have proof of this? IF you don't mind from now on I will be asking for proof for any claim made by the anti-gay crowd and I encourage those who are pro on this topic do the same.
I find it hard to believe that anybody would create a monument which would reference unproven accusations of any kind lol
And I find it hard to believe you actually think your finding something hard to believe should hold any weight in a serious discussion regarding this statue, gay adoption, or anything else for that matter.
