There were some interesting Corporate Disclosures in the Prop 8 Brief submitted by the groups above. The LDS is an “Unincorporated Organization”?

The entire brief is here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/38097592/CA9Doc-57

In the military, as in any other large organization, it is just a matter of time for any, otherwise qualified and performing, Gay Service Membeor employee to cross paths with an individual who dislikes gay people generally, and who will, for no other reason other than overall animus, make complaints about the individual in an effort to attack him/her.

While not in the military, I have been employed in positions where I performed highly and received outstanding reviews for quite some time, and yet when it became suspected that I was Gay, then either my supervisor, or another employuee, whichever held haterd gfor Gays, would start down the path of either making completely false claims of poor performance, or of outing me outright.

This type of thing happens every single day. Animus is hugely due to Religious Descrimination, as has been clearly confirmed by this weeks submission of briefs by Twelve Major Religious Organizations in the pending Prop 8 Appeal. They are:

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The California Catholic Conference
The National Association of Evangelicals
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons)
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
The Calvary Chapel Fellowship of Ministries of California
The Christian and Missionary Alliance
Coral Ridge Ministries Media, Inc.
The Council of Korean Churches in Southern California
Southern California Korean Ministers Association
Holy Movement for America

Many of these groups run political departments within their organizations and publish “Action Alerts” on their websites with easy links encouraging parishioners to vote in ways particular to their religious beliefs.

Get Religion out of Politics and away from my Constitutional Rights.

This is a huge victory for gay and lesbian worldwide who are afraid to come out — they should now — this sets up a precedent that will be looked at and cases won due to this court’s ruling. Three cheers for Officer Witt (if she were a man I bet she would have been top gun by now). Usually good officers are the ones promoted to the top and you’lre lucky if you had the opportunity to have one of them. I had three managers who let us ride their shirt tales and many of us were promoted before they were scooped up and promoted to other areas. Cork’s should be flying on those champagne bottles now! Wait can you hear mine? Cheers!

#1 this judge has no jurisdiction or authority over the Air Force or any of the Services. #2 While the judge may attempt to get her reinstated based on DADT they are missing the boat on the fact that she did not serve “honorably” she committed adultery which is a against the UCMJ and not conducive to good order and discipline. Her former mates may like her and she may possess quality skills but she is not a good officer and that’s what you are first when you accept a commission, an officer, and Maj Witt IS NOT a good officer.
