People who are born with different chromosomes should not be victimized by others. Christians don't criticize what GOD creates.. learn some science before you judge others,.. the Bible tells you to get knowledge...

The people who punished those servicemen are probably the same people who believe the Ten Commandments should posted in public schools. They only follow the ones they like. There's the one that says Love thy Neighbor as Thyself. I guess they don't like that one.
