A 'Gay Pride' Party at a U.S. Emabasy in a Muslim country?

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Only the far-left Obama administration could believe that holding the first-ever U.S. Embassy Gay Pride Theme Party in Baghdad, Iraq could be an appropriate expression of "tolerance, diversity, and understanding." Gay pride events are considered by many Americans to be far too conspicuous a display of overt, in-your-face, sexually-based behavior, and it it much more so in a Muslim country.

As Amy Ridenour writes at National Center Blog, "Having a high-profile homosexual event in the capital of an Islamic country calls the diplomatic tact of the Obama Administration - already marred by inappropriate gifts to heads of state and embarrassing mistakes in translation - into question yet again."

Kristia Cavere points out that prominent sexual conduct is considered by the Middle Easterners as one example of the debauchery within Western culture that they do not want imported within their homes and country:

These gay rights spectacles are offensive to many in America, which is a far more permissive country in tolerating such conspicuous displays of sexually based behavior. Although gay pride parties and parades are considered abrasive by many in U.S. culture, this is downright belligerent within a Muslin culture which considers unveiled women provocative.

The Islamic culture does not appreciate or allow public sexual displays to begin with. Now the American embassy is going to display sexuality in a way that will do nothing but offend the host population, needlessly complicating an already sensitive situation. The question becomes, who is going to suffer? Our embassy officials, or our soldiers on the ground who will endure the increased outrage when events such as this occur?

Frequently cited among Muslims is not a dislike of Americans, but a dislike of the American culture's brazen sexual behavior such as that demonstrated during a gay pride event. Prominent sexual conduct is considered by the Middle Easterners as one example of the debauchery within Western culture that they do not want imported within their homes and country, and they are willing to fight us to allow their culture to remain unaffected. A gay pride display sponsored in an official location such as an embassy can only serve to provoke and inflame Muslim distrust and distain for Western and American culture.

What could the Obama administration possibly be thinking, or were they at all? V,P. Biden is known to be a gaffe-a-minute machine, but it seems that the Obama administration is equally as prone to gaffes - but on matters of much greater consequences than embarrassing one's boss - Team Obama embarrasses America.
