Magistrate Suggests Corrective Rape for Lesbian Soldiers?

Can't you just feel the love flowing from Joe Rehyansky, a part-time magistrate in Hamilton County, Tennessee, and a former assistant district attorney, who would bar gay males from military service but allow lesbian soldiers who could then be "converted" by their straight male compatriots. Yes, it's disgusting by all to typical of the fruits of the message of "loving Christians" like Tony Perkins, Don Wildmon, Maggie Gallagher, et al. The vile suggestion appeared in a column on The Daily Caller which was launched earlier this year by Tucker Carlson. One can only wonder what Mr. Rehyansky thinks about other minorities who fail to live up to his twisted ideas. Here are highlights from Raw Story:
*
The conservative news site The Daily Caller has removed part of an article that suggested lesbians be allowed into the US military so that their male colleagues can "convert" them. Critics say the article went as far as to suggest corrective rape for lesbians.
*
"Lesbians should be allowed to serve, gay men should not," declared Joe Rehyansky in an article published Monday. Rehyansky, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam, is a part-time magistrate in Hamilton County, Tennessee, and a former assistant district attorney.
*
In the original article, Rehyansky concluded that his lesbians-only policy "would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our collective ‘Broke Back,’ thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream."
*
The Daily Caller briefly dropped the article when it began to gain attention, only to put it back online but without the "converting lesbians" comment. The comment has since been republished at other Web sites.

Firedog Lake also looks at this sick situation.
