African Spotlight Spotlighting Africans at Home and Abroad
(CNSNews.com) – 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.”
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the effort to remove sodomy from military law stems from liberal Senate Democrats’ and President Obama’s support for removing the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.
“It’s all about using the military to advance this administration’s radical social agenda,” Perkins told CNSNews.com. “Not only did they overturn Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but they had another problem, and that is, under military law sodomy is illegal, just as adultery is illegal, so they had to remove that prohibition against sodomy.”
Perkins said removing the bestiality provision may have been intentional–or just “collateral damage”
“Well, whether it was inadvertent or not, they have also taken out the provision against bestiality,” he said. “So now, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), there’s nothing there to prosecute bestiality.”
Former Army Col. Bob Maginnis said some military lawyers have indicated that bestiality may be prosecutable under another section of the military code of justice – the “catch-all” Article 134 for offenses against “good military order and discipline.”
But don’t count on that, he said.
“If we have a soldier who engages in sodomy with an animal – whether a government animal or a non-government animal – is it, in fact, a chargeable offense under the Uniform Code? I think that’s in question,” Maginnis told CNSNews.com.
“When the reader stops laughing, the reader needs to ask the question whether or not this is in the best interests of the government, in the best interests of the military and the best interests of the country? I think not.”
He added: “Soldiers, unfortunately, like it or not, have engaged in this type of behavior in the past. Will they in the future, if they remove this statute? I don’t know.”
Perkins said there was no attempt to remove the UCMJ repeal provision from the bill, which Perkins had expected the Senate to approve.
Now that it has passed, however, the Senate version will have to go to a conference committee, and Perkins predicts there will be several sticking points with the House.
“The House in their version of the defense authorization, reinforced the Defense of Marriage Act, saying that there is a military DOMA as well, prohibiting same-sex marriage on military bases – something the Department of Defense is pushing for,” he said.
“And now this is an added concern, that sodomy has been removed, and as we have discovered, that bestiality–the prohibition against it–has been removed from the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So yes, the House will have problems with this bill.”
As a reader, what do you think about this?

It’s not about Obama, it’s about a system that has lost the moral values of it’s founding Fathers, and degenerated very deep into moral decadence under the cheap guise of libral and free state… It should not be surprising at all cos Christ predicted these things as signs of the last days
WE PRAY GOD TO HAVE MERCY ON OUR BELOVED AMERICA UNDER THE PRESENT CORPS OF DESPERATE POLITICAL GLADIATORS IN THE REPUBLICANS AND THE DEMOCRATS.
IT IS QUITE AN EVIL THAT THE POLICE OF THE EARTH IS SO LICENCIOUS AS TO BRAZINGLY COLOUR EVIL GOOD. I PITY AMERICA UNDER BARAK OBAMA AND MITT ROMNEY. NONE OF THEM CAN GIVE A RIGHTEOUS VENT TO AMERICA’S DIRE NEED OF SALVIFIC MORALITY. GOD HELPS US.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HIDING BEHIND RELIGION..MEN USE IT TO CONTROL WOMEN..RELIGION IS ONE OF THE TOP REASONS COUNTRIES GO TO WAR…men
SO …AMERICANS ARE WORSE THAN ANIMALS?? LETS SEE…IN THE MIDDLE EAST ..WOMEN ARE STONED TO DEATH IF THEY HAVE SEX OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE? Men will have sodomy with a woman before marriage..so they don’t ruin her…but thats ok….if a woman has a girl child over in asia ..they will give her up because girls are pretty much worthless ..boys mean everything. recently a man killed his 3 month old daughter because he wanted a boy…If America is such a waste of space..why is it EVERYONE KEEPS MOVING HERE????
It is joy to read of the greatness of America but very sad to read about the possible collapse of it if the American people allow this plant known as OBAMA to complete his long assigned mission of destroying America.
America has had diverse attacks but withstood it becasue they came from outside the shores. They have discerned some that were within and destroyed it. But this Missionary of ‘END AMERICA’ known as Obama, I am afriad, is gaining strong gorund. This is a form of suicide attack on America by a suicide attacker ‘OBAMA’. By the time he has weakened America, he does not mind dying with it but one thing remains in history. He will remain the srotngest personality who has been able to destroy a country so blessed and whih thinks nothing could destroy it as it was done to Troy. Obama entered so he with America could go down the drain. MAY AMERICA AWAKE
Im not Surprised anyway.Pple dat tend to luk good are very Terrible,D likes of Obama,u’l remembered aw u celebrated him,same with Goodluck Jonathan.So y’l WATCH OUT.
rapture may take place 2day , are you ready?
These pple are crazy n mad. Well am surprise because the world is going 2 an end. These are signs of the endtime.
the world is in deed comming to an end
Truely, the 2ru worshipers of God need 2 pray harder n let us b more vigilant. Remember Jesus’ word b4 he ascended 2 meet d Almighty – nevertheless when d Son of man returns will he find faith on earth?!!- perhaps all ds must happen b4 He comes. If u’r 2ru christian, pls pray that d rapture day will not take u n all d elect unawares n also God should give us d grace 2 remain in Him till death no matter what happens on earth(-if Christ tarries). I wonder what d future generation would be like if ds is 2ru!!
Hmmmn… The end has really just begun. Hold on to Jesus if u have Him, if not, time to accept Him! May God help us all.
This world has come to a new low …this is disgusting,as well as animal abuse…this country needs a new leader ASAP!!!! only filthy people with no morals what so ever would allow this.
This is suppost to be a free country and if a man decides he can live with himself and have sex with a horse then that is between him and the man above to many men out here being the judge.
Americans are worse than animals
i dont know whatz going on in the world today,STRANGE things are happening we need to pray the rosary so the world will be at peace.
Infact am short of words, to even think that a black American governing dt great country could allow all these taboo and unimaginable acts in his own time, it is so sad and dissapointing. I think the best bet is not to judge but leave it all for God to judge.
what d’you xpects from a satanist president? obama himself is invariably involvd in dis ungodly act. he’s trying to protect himself if caught in d act. i can’t figure out how a sane president will legalize sodomy & beastiality. dis is an eye opener.
it is sadened,it is indeed US is now sodom and gormora US will soon crumble and collapse because this serves as the beginning of their downfall.
may god help rescue de world
Happenings around the world should not surprise people who truely worship God!
Humans have degenerated to a lesser animal – the beast.
The human race has been in trouble centuries ago for not supplicating and worshiping God and now the human race is iterrupting and rearranging God’s work?
THE END IS sure NEAR!

Destruction is inevitable. The Quran and the bible has conformed this. The Sodom and Gomorah did not get to this extent. This is a time of descision. Are you for evil or for God? You must decide and not sit on the fence. Remember that even the wife of Lut was sympathetic to the evil and she was not spared.
LET PRAY TO ON BEHALF OF THIS NATION (U S) FOR DEVIL IS RANGING EVERY DAY TO POPULATE HELL.
He that hath an ear,let him hear
They makin u take ur eyes away 4rm d salvation of Christ thereby judging them in d flesh
My pple,pls judge them not,for by d works of d flesh shall no man b justified
Dont judge them,else u’ll b judged
African are are said to be behaving like animals, to the extent that, during manual labour work and durind slavery days they force them to work by saying “APES OBEY”. Who now is the animal or apes? Even dogs and shegoats, that are known to be fond of sex have not been doing it among same sex. Those whom the gods will kill , they first make mad.
The Naturalist postulated that any law that is not just is not a law.legalizing sodomy and bestiality is like questioning the arrangement of Almight GOD and that is repugnant to natural justice and good conscience.why are we annoying d Creator all in the name of civilization?
The most sorry part of it is that the little sinners will perish with the anti-christ cos sin has no measure. Hell is Hell. I think this is the best tym 2 seek JESUS CHRIST NO OTHER TIME IS BETTER THAN THIS
Dis days i don’t seem to undrerstand wats going on…d simple truth is dat dis whole ting just shows dat d world is really coming to an end…cause d reason for dis i don’t understand..dere is dis part in southern Colombia dat also legalises sex wif donkeys..d first sexual intercourse a man will ever hav n dis part of d world is wit a donkey..dey said it gives d man confidence to be able to approach a woman later n life..is dat not sick…
Pls Pray d Rosary that d Pope Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate of Mary and stop this nonsense! That d world may have peace. This is d only solution to d problems of the world.
Well,IMO,i think is ungodly and unmanly,is an unforgiveable sin by god,US senate should better re-think cause this bill is a simple example of juvenile deliquent
Hmm…. This is nothing but a tragedy from a model state. Obama is a curse to America. Curse be his anti-christ decisions. Obama is not a Negroid. He is a blood Anglo-saxon animal.
Obama has destroyed the remaining vestiges of morality in America. This appears to be his primary mission in the White House. Economy and world peace are secondary. Obama’s 4 years will be judged by the following unprecedented feats:
1. legalizing same sex marriage,
2. campaigning for all countries of the world to legalize same sex marriage with a threat of penal sanctions for defiant nations.
3. Authorizing US foreign missions and agencies to protect gays and lesbians in their foreign stations
4. Authorizing American population to be increased by granting asylum to foreign gays and lesbians under the guise of human rights.
5. Legalizing sodomy.
6. Legalizing bestiality.
7. Legalizing incest. (in the pipeline)
8. Destroying the moral sub-structure of the American State.
9. Vindicating Pastor Rod Parsley who warned Americans of Obama’s Anti-Christ mission. (Rod, we are sorry).
10. America’s worst socially immoral, spiritually decadent President.
i am in God i trust,nw tell abt God.d word 4 such act is death sentence 4 d animal and d man involved in such disgraceful act.
Rubbish…Absolute rubbish. This is madness for crying out loud. How do you in the whole wide world fathom this? It is insane. It is outrageous and The senators and lawmakers were to know better… they will regret passing this bill into law…
Thoroughly disappointed.Liberty is now taken overboard.God has given them over ti their lust.
The world is indeed coming to an end. God save us these last days!
It’s sad that this is happening but America has bn described in the prophecy as WOLF IN LAMB’S SKIN. This is jst the begining of d end…
Are they serious or joking? where are d christians in God’s own country? It is so clear that America is our present day sodom n gomorah. God Help us all!
The world is really fast approaching its end… The word of God is always accurate and true. These things must occur to prove the authenticity of the bible and the truthfulness of God’s word. Check up Romans 1:24-27
Hmmm!!!
Seems USA need another 911 to draw them closer to God…….
This is totally contrary to the way and law of God. People of God, the end has come.
Why are u people surprise ? these the signs Jesus was saying would come at the end times. We should even be ready to witness MAN and ANIMAL wedding ceremony.
Shocking! Well, It’s just some of the things we expect to see during these times…… It’s just saddening that ‘God’s own country’ is not showing forth God’s glory………
@Paul….Sodom and Gomorrah is here already…even at a larger scale.
I am sure Sodom and Gomorah were not as perverse as this generation.
It seems that man has transversed from the laws of God and of nature. Man has come to make things possible to please his selfish desires and therefore go contrary to the laws of God. For those who still ignorantly dispute the fact that God exist and that He would allot to everyone according to his deeds. We should not turn the world to another Sodom and Gomorrah.

where is God’s place in God’s own country? Where is our social values?
God’s place is in your church and home. Luckily, you have the freedom here to practice that religion.
If you think that sodomy is a sin, I’d recommend not practicing it.
pathetic little demon! u so disgusting. i guess u r white, coz whites are devils.
What an ignorant, racist statement. That’s like me saying “You must be black because blacks can’t spell or use proper English.” Maybe you should look in the mirror when you throw out words like “pathetic” and “disgusting”. Statements like yours just perpetuate the ignorance and hate that is so prominent throughout the world.
A new low!
These people have no shred of morality left in them.
#Shame.
