Tony Perkins Links Military’s ‘Preoccupation With Homosexuality’ To Afghan Child Abuse Scandal

On Sunday, the New York Times published an alarming account of how U.S. service members were told by higher-ups to ignore the sexual abuse of children by Afghan soldiers fighting the Taliban or else face punishment.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins naturally found a way to link the reported toleration of child abuse to the military’s “preoccupation with homosexuality and transgenderism.”

Perkins told listeners on yesterday’s edition of “Washington Watch” that President Obama has destroyed the military’s morality with its policies on LGBT service members and supposed persecution of Christians, linking these policies to the alleged allowance of child abuse in Afghanistan.
