The Senate on Thursday evening voted 93-7 to approve a defense authorization bill that includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, it also repeals the military ban on sex with animals–or bestiality.
On Nov. 15, the Senate Armed Services Committee had unanimously approved S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.
It states: “(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

“Perkins predicts there will be several sticking points with the House.”
Nope, too easy.
(What? Ohhh, oookayyy …)
F*** those jackasses in the a**!
Not that there’s anything wrong with that … evidently.
Maybe they did it in honory of Barney Frank’s retirement? Seems the sort of thing they might give as a going away gift. You know, kind of like they wanted the health care monstrosity for Teddy Kennedy.

Sooooo does that pertain to gays in the military or are they exempt? I’m not trying to be a phobe or anything but— ya know?
I’m kinda fuzzy on the history, but will rations of rum and the lash be following soon?
Or is that just the British. . ?
Actually, now that I think about it.
Perhaps the bestiality thing is not a problem
now that the horse cavalry and mule transports are gone.
Doug, I believe we still have troops up in Iceland….”where men are men, and sheep are nervous.”
Not that I had any doings with my wooly brethren while I was stationed there, back in 74-75… just sayin.
That’s from DC, where then men are men, and the women are women, and, well, sometimes the men are women, and the women are men, and the sheep just got a whole lot more nervous.
This will, however, one day be all sorted out, and a lot of folks now thinking they have won something will find that they have permanent seats in the smoking section.
DougM, there is still the expanded K-9 corps, but I wouldn’t advise anyone trying to get over affectionate with one….
Joe (8), I think the main interest the men & women in DC have in sheep is shearing them.
That of course would be us, though to tell the truth they have already spent so much that it would be fair to say they have already screwed us as well.
If gay sex is legal, and if gay marriage is legal, and then if man-beast is legal, then why not man-beast marriage?
You see they way it is heading, right?
Yes it’s heading down the cesspool.
I’m glad I’m retired.
