The head of the Family Research Council has yet another comment that contributes to the list of reasons GLAAD and others want him kept off cable news shows.
President Obama shouldn't be surprised that the Secret Service solicited prostitutes during a trip to Columbia, Tony Perkins says, because that's what happens when you repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
"You cannot maintain moral order if you are willing to allow a few things to slide," said Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, on his radio show.
The comments, caught by Right Wing Watch, came during a discussion about why Republicans should do more on "the homosexuality issue," as fellow commentator Janet Mefferd put it.
Perkins said the Secret Service scandal is merely a symptom of the "total breakdown" in morality of the larger Obama administration.
"We intuitively know it’s wrong, there’s a moral law against that," Perkins said of prostitution. "The same is true for what the president has done to the military enforcing open homosexuality in our military. You can change the law but you can’t change the moral law that’s behind it."
Perkins went even further in his comparison of homosexuality to prostitution in a newsletter sent today to its followers. He said DADT repeal "introduced a new chapter of promiscuity into the U.S. military."
"On one hand, the administration has tried to force our military to embrace homosexuality by making unnatural and immoral sex legal — and on the other, it's outraged that its military is engaging in another form of legal but immoral sex," Perkins wrote. "Both behaviors are inappropriate, unhealthy, and destructive. Yet only one seems to incense government officials."
