WorldNetDaily's backlash against a judge's order to stop enforcement of the military's ban on gay and lesbian troops in the military continues with an October 19 column by WND White House correspondent Les Kinsolving.

Kinsolving denounces the idea that the judge would “force the acceptance of openly announced buggers into the barracks,” writes that it is a “very dangerous and disease-ridden judicial decision,” and adds: “The recruitment of self-announced homosexuals would also cause a major medical problem given the sexual orientation's high rates of AIDS and syphilis.”

Kinsolving ignores the fact that comprehensive medical testing is typically a part of any pre-deployment health screening process in the military. Screening guidelines and policies can be found here. Moreover, U.S. military regulations require continued testing of all active-duty personnel every two years for HIV, and experts in nations that have lifted their bans on open service by gay men and lesbians have said that the rate of HIV infection among the troops has not increased.

Kinsolving goes on to ask his readers to “imagine a Marine Corps general – whose combat record includes numerous battle honors for extraordinary courage -- issuing the following orders” on segregation of homosexual and heterosexual inmates. He doesn't explain what one's combat record has to do with following orders that exist only in Kinsolving's imagination. He also asserts, “Forcing any heterosexual midshipman to room with any self-announced homosexual midshipman would be an appalling denial of basic rights.”

As you might suspect from the above, Kinsolving has a longtime obsession with homosexuality, repeatedly denouncing what he calls the “Sodomy Lobby.” But his employer is just as anti-gay as he is, so he fits in just fine.
