Former Tennessee District Attorney Joe Rehyansky Suggests Gay Men Be Barred From Military Because Their Innate Promiscuity Would Spread Disease But Lesbians Should Be Allowed Because Straight Men Could Convert Them Back “Into The Mainstream”

From the Daily Caller (the Tucker Carson founded website), an opinion supposedly meant to be ironic and Swiftian by retired Tennessee district attorney, Vietnam veteran, and judge Joe Rehyansky on the ramifications of repealing the American military policy that prohibits openly gay service members, Mr. Rehyansky suggesting that lesbians be allowed to serve with straight men because they – the lesbians – would be converted, but that gay men should not. “Men,’ he writes, “by nature are more promiscuous than women,” and that historically “It fell to men to swing through the trees and scour the caves in search of as many women as possible to subdue and impregnate – a tough job but someone had to do it.” Extending the argument that arguing that there exists an innate “promiscuity” among men, he writes “Most men who sexual attracted to other men can and do indulge their promiscuous urges with little or no restraint” and that consequently, “gays spread disease at a rate out of all proportion to their numbers in our population and should be excluded from the military” since “A significant population of gays in the military has the potential for disastrous health consequences.” Finally, in a second to last paragraph that had now been badly edited by the website, Rehyansky, who praises lesbians for their “medical and administrative specialties” suggesting that “My solution 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 back into the mainstream.”
