HeadlineMar 13, 2007

The chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is stoking controversy today for calling homosexuality “immoral” and defending the military ban on openly gay servicemembers. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, General Peter Pace said, “My upbringing is such that I believe there are certain things, certain types of conduct, that are immoral. … I believe that homosexual acts between individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts.”
