Radical homosexual activists are celebrating because today the ban on homosexual military service has been officially lifted.The two congressmen called for a delay in implementation of the repeal, pointing out their committee members still have not received copies of revised regulations and a summary of the specific policy changes that are to take effect. "This failure to meet the committee's requests leads us to conclude that decisions on the policies and regulations to implement repeal are not complete and that your certification and those of the others were inaccurate," states the letter.
They describe it as "unconscionable" that the guidelines and procedures to be used by the military to implement repeal remain "unpublished."
Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness (CMR), says the White House is "playing keep-away" with the documents McKeon and Wilson say should be public -- as should the "deceptive tactics" employed to pass and enforce the LGBT law.
"The law requires more than just PowerPoint presentations," she tells OneNewsNow. "The administration is supposed to describe exactly what will happen under the new LGBT law. [But] they haven't done that! They're barreling ahead anyway. The president [is] just determined to impose LGBT law on the military, regardless of the concerns of Congress."
The CMR leader predicts litigators for homosexual activists and the homosexual movement are going to have a field day. "Without the law on the books, they will go into court and challenge anything that stands in the way of what they perceive as a civil rights issue," she warns.
Indeed, in a press release today, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) celebrates the end of what it describes as "an ugly era in American history" -- then adds: "...The journey is not over." The group calls it "unacceptable" that transgender service members must still "serve in silence" even though homosexual and bisexual men and women can now serve openly.
NGLTF also says "the military still lacks explicit nondiscrimination protections, equal benefits, and an inclusive equal opportunity policy for LGBT people" -- and vows "we will continue to work toward the day when full inclusion is a reality in the military."
