   A senior representative of the Family Research Council went on   
   national television last week and called for all men who engage   
   in homosexual acts to be locked up.   
      
   Peter Sprigg, a senior fellow for the FRC, had been debating   
   gays in the military when he ran into a hardball from MSNBC host   
   Chris Matthews.   
      
   “So you think we should outlaw gay behavior,” Matthews asked.   
      
   “Yes,” Sprigg replied, adding ““I think that the Supreme Court   
   decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned the sodomy laws   
   in this country, was wrongly decided. I think there would be a   
   place for criminal sanctions against homosexual behavior.”   
      
   Sprigg is a policy maker and think tank rep for FRC, whose   
   position papers and talking points are routinely adopted and   
   disseminated by representatives of the religious right, and   
   endorsed by their spokespersons on the Hill.   
      
   His answers to questions by Matthews evolved out of a discussion   
   on why gays and lesbians should be prohibited from servicing in   
   the armed forces.   
      
   “The presence of homosexuals in the military,” Sprigg replied,   
   “is incompatible with good order, morale, discipline, and unit   
   cohesion.” Then he threw in the part about locking us all up.   
      
   The disturbing endorsement came during the February 2 segment of   
   “Hardball,” while Sprigg debated Aubrey Sarvis, executive   
   director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), an   
   organization which defends GLBT servicemen and women discharged   
   under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT).   
      
   This was too much for Sarvis, the former chief counsel for the   
   Senate Commerce Committee and a U.S. Army veteran.   
      
   “There is no data, there is no evidence, there is no study   
   whatsoever that you can point to which supports that outrageous   
   statement,” Sarvis responded.   
      
   During the “Hardball” broadcast, SLDN’s Sarvis challenged   
   Sprigg’s data-less assertions. “I would also suggest to you that   
   79% of Americans today support gays and lesbians being able to   
   serve their country openly,” Sarvis said.   
      
   Replying to Sprigg’s biblical arguments supporting anti-sodomy   
   laws, Sarvis reminded Matthews’ viewers of the latest Gallup   
   polling which states that “61% of weekly churchgoers support   
   gays and lesbians being able to serve openly.”   
      
   In South Florida, American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER)   
   spokesman Andy Eddy was spooked by the stunning remarks of   
   Sprigg. Said Eddy, “Gay and straight service members should be   
   bound by the same limitations covered under the Uniform Code of   
   Military Justice. We often hear of the argument against gays as   
   being prone to unacceptable sexual misconduct while little, if   
   anything, is ever mentioned about heterosexuals on the same   
   playing field.”   
      
   Lock them up or start shooting them.
