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.
