Appearing on Tuesday's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Family Research Council spokesperson and board member Peter Sprigg said he believes that "gay behavior" should be criminalized.
Sprigg
Sprigg appeared in the broadcast, responding to yesterday’s testimony by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, before the Senate Armed Services Committee, that he supported allowing gays to openly serve in the U.S. armed forces.
During a debate with Aubrey Sarvis of the Service Members Legal Defense Network, Sprigg claimed that it was “unfair to put soldiers in a position of forced co-habitation with those who may be viewing them as a sexual object."
The 9 minute segment on MSNBC concluded when Sprigg said that he believes that Lawrence vs. Texas (the Supreme Court decision that struck down the sodomy laws) was "wrongly decided" and that "gay behavior" should be criminalized, not just in the military, but in general.

honestly what year is it? people like him need to just leave their opinions to themselves. You dont have to agree on homosexuality, but this country is all about being treated equally and having the same opprotunaties.Taking away someones rights to love someone is very wrong. You are taking away the chance at giving someone who supports and lives in this country to have the change of not only being equal but of free choice. They are not hurting anyone and they are certainly not any different than any other person on this planet.Its like taking someones life away, when you take away the chance of being loved and happy.
sorry for cussing.
The Sprigg guy is a Jackass! A guy who i love (who is gay) is going into the army. And he would not sexually harass a guy. Sprigg needs to just shut the f*ck up. He is an idiot! he should keep his stupid mouth shut. He says same sex attraction should be out lawed! How does someone being gay affected him?!!?!?!? He is an idiot!
Yeah, sexual harassment in heterosexual form is acceptable, so long as there are no gays. lol, this guy is an idiot.
