Recently passed Senate legislation would make sodomy and sex with animals legal under military law, ending long-standing prohibitions and triggering cries of perversion from conservative groups.
The bill, which the Senate passed 93-7 last week, would repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice that states any person who engages in “unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy.” Those found guilty of sodomy would be subject to court martial.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said Thursday that the repeal was simply a legal change because it’s no longer constitutional. A 2003 Supreme Court decision struck down a Texas ban on sodomy as an unconstitutional intrusion on privacy.
The committee said the changes in law were recommended by the Joint Services Committee on Military Justice and the secretary of defense.
Senate negotiators are working to reconcile their version of the bill with the House-passed measure and produce final legislation that sets policy for the Pentagon. Levin indicated that there are some differences with House lawmakers over the provision.

Coyotes?
So in other words, seven members of Congress voted in a way declared unconstitutional eight years ago?
But I suspect that soldiers–including heterosexual ones–have been engaging in sodomy ("carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex") throughout history.
That's some sick s**t. I'm glad I am not in the service. I couldn't handle this!!!
I bet a lot of these guys don't want to be sodomized so in an all volunteer Army, we can see where this is going.
Again, thank God I'm retired!!!
This is meant to demoralize the troops. Most of them will leave the service at their first opportunity. Since tens of thousands of Muslims have been brought here to enlist in our military, it won't be any big deal to them, since they regularly engage in bestiality. They're chomping at the bit for the chance to fire on American citizens. Check out this article, and especially the temple carving: http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2011/12/05…
I just called Rubio's office, talked to a staffer, she said, ''THE SODOMY PART OF THE BILL WAS TAKEN OUT!!! she really didn't want to talk about it apparently it was something she was comfortable with, I tried to ask her what part was left in the bill and she said mam the sodomy part was taken out, does anyone know the number of the bill?? I almost suggested she get a different job if she wasn't comfortable. LOL
Aren't we just thrilled at our incompetent, corrupt Congress, Don't you like how they take care of us??/ What do we pay for this intelligent law making??
The sodomy part was taken out? No way! That's was the point of the bill .. all about legalizing open homosexuality in the military. Indeed, they are currently training our troops to be "sensitive" about the issue. All the guys I know are planning to leave the military ASAP. So, how about BESTIALITY? As far as I know, it is also intact. Did Rubio's staff member say bestiality had been left in the bill? What a disgusting, perverted military brass! Are they all perverts? The reason Ron Paul voted to repeal DADT is because he believed the sections of the UCMJ prohibiting homosexuality in the military were intact and would take care of Clinton's EO, but OBOZOBONGO had all relevant homosexual sections removed.
How can any christian or any religious person or jew vote for this man, is beyond me.
That's just great! Willwe have a new department for animal procurement in the military now? Who is going to decide who gets sheep vs who gets a cow? Are Llamas off limits or will pigs be allowed as well?
This makes me sick.
