The conservative news site The Daily Caller has removed part of an
article that suggested lesbians be allowed into the US military so that
their male colleagues can "convert" them.

Critics say the article went as far as to suggest corrective rape for
lesbians.

"Lesbians should be allowed to serve, gay men should not," declared Joe
Rehyansky in an article published Monday. Rehyansky, an Army veteran
who served in Vietnam, is a part-time magistrate in Hamilton County,
Tennessee, and a former assistant district attorney.

In the original article, Rehyansky concluded that his lesbians-only
policy "would get the distaff part of our homosexual population off our
collective ‘Broke Back,’ thus giving straight male GIs a fair shot at
converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream."

That alarmed some LGBT activists, who note that much of the article
before that comment argued that men are rapists by nature. Rehyansky's
argument that gay men should continue to be banned from the military
was based on this notion:

houldn’t the overwhelmingly straight warriors who answer their
county’s call be spared the indignity of showering with other men
who achieve lascivious enjoyment from the sight of those lithe
naked bodies, and who may be tempted to seek more than the view?
They are, after all, guys.
