Rep. Gohmert On "Overt Homosexuality" In The Military

[montsyblackmadonna]

"he could not control his overt feelings of homosexuality" Yikes! that sounds Gross!

[bradreed]

i dont believe him. 

[montsyblackmadonna]

Homosexuals should be removed from the military and arrested !

Have a blessed day !

[bradreed]

@montsyblackmadonna youre kidding, right?

[Andy1000K]

@montsyblackmadonna = Cafeteria Christian who pics and chooses which parts of Leviticus suits her pathetic, hate filled needs.

[CapricornDavo]

Ignorant Jackass!

[ndjohnsrud]

wow, this is exactly like texas

[steerpike66]

Listen up, you stupid, stupid people. The repeal of DADT does not mean that every homosexual in the armed forces will be compelled to come screaming out of the closet in a feather boa. Most of them will continue to live discreet lives. it simply means that when asked if they have anybody special back home, they will not be compelled to LIE.

[newyorkcat]

@steerpike66 -- I would say from what I've read that you posted so far, you are definitely suffering from psychological disturbances which fall under the general heading: Hysteria

[steerpike66]

@newyorkcat I'm just flattered that you've taken the time to read everything that I've written so far. I sure as hell haven't been reading anything you wrote, and I'm not going to.

Ha ha.

[newyorkcat]

They should probably end DADT since it obviously didnt work. See Bradley Manning

[dollyknockers]

He speaks with a level of emotion that makes me think that he was reflecting not on an incident he witnessed, but on an incident that he was part of! Instead of getting "blown" he got "blown out"!.....don't worry Louie, there is a man out there somewhere for you.

[ImTheSecretSquare]

@norwonk Ha ha, norwonk, total agreement. Louie sure seems to know a lot about what that anonymous soldier crawling into the bunk was doing, thinking, and feeling, doesn't he?

[ImTheSecretSquare]

lol, I love that little pause at 0:40 after "whether hetero or homosexual". Want to go back and review your argument, Louie? Because you're pretty much just proving you're a bigot with double standards here.

[OzPoof]

BULLSHIT! If this ever did happen it was obviously because the guy was trying to keep his orientation secret. There will be no "misreading" of signals if everyone knows who is gay and who isn't. If there are misreading, all it takes is a "sorry dude, not interested". Jesus, these right-wing crazies are so out of touch. Besides, there are rules that there should be no sexual activity between men and women now aren't there? Just extend this, and punish the perp who made inappropriate advances!

[irvykinneas]

ridiculous

[akhan727]

Both heterosexuals and homosexuals have libido's but it's the sexual drive of gays and lesbians that will drive our military to the ground. There are straight male & female soldiers who hook up.

[steerpike66]

You can't repeal a repeal. And by the time the GOP are in any position to turn their attention to this issue, it will be politically and socially dead. 'Don't Ask, Don't what?' oh...that thing. Do you really think the Republicans are going to expend political capital on this in the future?

No. This is over. The last major bastion of government licensed homophobia has fallen.

Now gays can be troops, which means gays can be patriots, gays can be honored, gays can be tough, gays can be men.

[OzPoof]

@steerpike66 Yeah, it's like they can't wrap their pea-brains around the fact that gay men aren't wearing dresses and cowering under their beds. God, what a pack of utter morons.

[steerpike66]

I saw this guy in Salem's Lot.

[steerpike66]

Guys, any of you who are members of a gym are stripping, showering and changing with homosexual men every day. I'm one of them. And I don't let my eyes crawl over you, or make unwanted advances. I make brief cordial comments about sports, the weather and training. You won't know that I am gay until I think that information is relevant. And I will not involves you in a sexual situation until I am SURE that it is both appropriate and comfortable.

And never on active duty.

Because I have manners.

[steerpike66]

Why shouldn't more female troops be lesbian? As far as I can tell, lesbian women have better spacial awareness, hand-eye coordination and more chutzpah than their heterosexual counterparts. My sister in law's a lesbian and she's a whizz with any kind of tools, a tennis pro and an ace NASCAR driver. She's one tough Valkyrie and the army would be lucky to get her.

[newyorkcat]

@steerpike66 -- I would agree about lesbians, some of the can kick ass and I can see a role for them in the military. Gay men? lol, you have to be kidding! I lived on Sullivan St in the village for 10 yrs - it's not the gay part of the village, it's a few blocks from there. Homos are hilarious sure, and superb flight attendants - but military? I feel sorry for any military guy living in close proximity to one (or more). I could never do it in a million years.

[steerpike66]

@newyorkcat You see this is because the only gay men you are aware of is the flamers. There are literally thousands of gay men who cannot be distinguished by accent, mannerism or dress from straight men. Nobody, NOBODY has ever clocked me as gay before I told them that i was.

The VILLAGE. You're using the VILLAGE as a place typical of gays everywhere? That's like using Mardi Gras as an example of how heterosexuals behave all the time.

[mwk89]

the same guy who talked about "terrorist babies", a pure joke in congress

[yipiia]

I'm in the military...not sure I've seen "bunk" house berthing since boot camp... proves that people in support of DADT are very far removed from the reality of life in the military

[blumag88]

Don't Ask! Don't Tell!! Don't Matter Anymore!!! It's the law and McCain, Graham, and McConnell will have to move into the 21st century like the rest of us!!!! It's a great day for human rights and the gay community!!!!!

[jimisback]

Most of the women in the military are gay right now.

[SensoryOssuary]

closet case

[Keys2Eden]

i am an infantry vet,,, its not like the rest of the military.there is no privacy period,and men will be men especially,young men! serving in the military is a privilege,not a right.you lose those constitutional rights when you take the oath.why do you people think the combat arms branches were all against this repeal?because that job specialty is different from the other jobs in the service,and the same arguments are valid against women serving in combat talk to the ones who do the fighting

[ImTheSecretSquare]

@Keys2Eden They were not "all against this repeal", there was a slight majority suggesting that the repeal would result in less unit efficiency... an opinion that was thoroughly not shared by those combat arms soldiers who had actually served with gay people. Why do *you* think that over 80% of combat Army and Marine soldiers who had served with gay people said it had no result or a positive result?

(And you certainly do not lose your Constitutional rights in the military.)

[DeathKorps94]

This Guy is SPOT ON

Worst decision EVER

God help our soldiers now having to deal with this bullshit

[HenhousetheRed]

This guy and so many other Republicans is so damn obsessed with homosexuality, I wonder if he dreams about cock.

[SharkDude1]

You know what is really scary about this nutcase, is that People elected him into office. Nice job you IDIOTS that put a check by this crazy idiots name during the elections. Really?? You voted for this human trash?? What where you thinking???

[Zlibservacratican]

Sounds like a case against females in the military too.

[tincredible]

Homosexuals in denial are usually the main ones with a vendetta against homosexuality, hence Eddie Long & many others whose skeletons fell from their closest. Since he tells a story of a homosexual who "couldnt control his hormones", It should logically follow that he talks about the incidents of heterosexual harrasmement & rapes. Because soldiers who can't control their hormones is the real issue. Right? .....Another conservative using fallacious reasoning to support his bigoted agenda.

[johnosahon]

I just know this man is talking about himself. just give it a few days, the man he hit on would be holding a press conference with his lawyer Gloria.

[stophthecomputerwiz]

GOH-MER is such a closet case

[AdamKW69]

And Gohmer would have us believe that this never, ever happens between heterosexual members of the military?!?

[AdamKW69]

And Gohmer would have us believe that this never, ever happens between heterosexual members of the military?!?

[jerrydoubleu]

texas douchebag--dying breed loser like the dodo bird.

[bobbie4]

Why do I get the strange feeling he has first hand knowledge about the event?

[MissBurlesque]

Lack of self control?

How about we trot out every woman in the military that was sexually harassed or RAPED by a man in the military.

How many of those women got to just push the intruder out of her bed?

I agree that any prohibited sexual behavior is unacceptable but this is not a homosexual problem. It's a problem with all people. (Sounds like the AIDS blame all over again, to me).

[SpeedyBruin]

I'm still waiting for evidence of terror babies. This guy has no credibility and as a citizen I am embarrassed that he holds a position in our government.

[suvariboy]

Just because Goober could not control his overt feelings of homosexuality why should the rest of us suffer? I'm glad that he could get his truth off of his chest after all these years but COME ON!

[kevm1550]

Gohmert is not only an embarrassment to himself, he's an  American embarrassment.

[secure214]

And this one time, at band camp......This guy is probably another Republican closet-case. He needs therapy. I can't wait to hear stories of openly gay soldiers saving the lives of their fellow straight or gay brothers in the armed forces. These conservative closet-queens are a total JOKE, and quite pathetic in every respect.

[SeparateisntEqual]

@secure214 EXACTLY

[TwilightSleep]

pics or it didn't happen.

[MuskleBear]

Don't be such a Gohmert!

[jongalbreath]

Sounds like someone's just jealous that it wasn't his bunk the dude crawled into.

[rikwrybac]

Do the words "Not interested" or "I'm not that way, let's just be friends" or "You've misunderstood my friendship" not appear in the English language by the time people enter the military? Perhaps they should be part of the training in the first few weeks.

[Bayhuntr]

If you don't follow the rules, you get kicked out, gay or not gay. Besides, I bet he's just making the story up, he is evangelical isn't he? ...They can't stop them selves from lying.

[Blairtim69]

This man is insulting the men and women of the military.

He is saying the U.S. soldier is not of the same quality as the soldiers of 38 other nations who have integrated gays with no problems.

Representative Gohmert, you owe the men and women a sincere apology for your insult. Your degradation of the American armed forces is un-American.

[drunkenbluto]

Gohmert, STFU you damn hate filled bigot. Gay people exist, get over it.

[ythnkupollyprsypnts]

This is coming from a Republican from Texas!? I'm so completely shocked! :rollseyes:

[beargulch1953]

This guy sounds like an Islamic fundamentalist: "we men can't control ourselves, so we drape our sexual objects with burlap so that they won't cause us to lose control and rape them."

Behavior is behavior, and if "crawling into a bunk" with a fellow soldier to have sex is prohibited, it doesn't matter what your gender is.

His voice tonalities sound wistful, sorry no one ever crawled into his bunk.

[ronnykmarshall]

Fucker is so ugly bed bugs wouldn't crawl in the sack with his sorry ass.

[rg0057]

@ronnykmarshall , maybe that's what this is all about. He wanted some of that gay lovin', but was rejected in favor of the other guy.

[dfrutled]

Again this guy proves to be an idiot, but I think he realized towards the end of his rant that his logic was torn apart. Notice, how he says "anyone whether hetero or homosexual, who can't control their hormones should not be allowed in bc they are a risk."

Yet, he is claiming that only gay people can't control their hormones. What a dumb, dumb, little man. If he really thinks we should kick out all those who can't control their hormones then on to the witch hunts

[mw2000]

No Louie, it's not good when people can't control their hormones. Please start campaigning to have straights removed from the military because they've made unwelcome sexual advances toward female colleagues. Some straight soldiers have raped female soldiers, I don't remember an reports of 'overt homosexuals' doing the same.

[KataVideo]

is gomer gohmert describing his own experience? and if so, was he a top or a bottom? I'm guessing he's a bottom.

[2bRealist]

Sounds like this guy may have had a bad experience when he was younger O_o

[mrwarped]

hey homophobe, DADT is already repealed so STFU
