StumbleLetter: Pace’s prejudice not unusual, but ignorant
Sunday, March 18, 2007 | 7:25 a.m.
Regarding Gen. Peter Pace's comment that homosexuality is "immoral," I agree with columnist Tom Teepen. The general's views are still so mainstream they don't merit special opprobrium.
But that mainstream view is changing, albeit slowly. My guess is that Gen. Pace has no openly gay friends or family members - if he did, he probably couldn't maintain his knee-jerk homophobia. Prejudices, like war plans, tend not to survive contact with the enemy.
