• Fox News (10/11/09) Gay Rights Advocates March on D.C., Demand That Obama Keep His Pledges.  Some participants in the National Equality March woke up energized by President Obama's blunt pledge to end the ban on gays serving openly in the military during a speech to the nation's largest gay rights group Saturday night.

• FRC (10/12/09) Homosexual Activists Go Gaga for Obama.

// Media reports on the speech focused on the President's pledge, "I will end Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Obama declared, "We cannot afford to cut from our ranks people with the critical skills we need" -- while failing to recognize that allowing homosexuality in the ranks is what would devastate recruiting and reenlistment rates. The roughly two percent of the population that is homosexual will never replace the ten percent of current military personnel who have said they would not re-enlist if homosexuals are allowed in the military.
No one denies that conservative Christians have a marriage problem, a dizzying gap between their articulated ideals and their success in achieving them. According to the Pew Forum, evangelicals are more likely to be divorced than Roman Catholics, Mormons, the Eastern Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and atheists. Of course, every person who utters "till death do us part" and then separates is, in a sense, conceding defeat. But when evangelicals are leading the charge in the marriage movement (and now, the anti-gay-marriage movement) arguing that sacred unions between one man and one woman are good for society because they're good for children, one would hope that they'd have worked out the kinks a little better than the rest of us.
