The Daily Show with Jon Stewart ran a segment last evening profiling Bleu Copas, a translator specializing in Arabic who was discharged from the United States Army. Bleu was discharged under the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, which allows gays and lesbians to serve in the armed forces, but only if they remain deeply closeted.
In the segment, Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones interviews Paul Cameron of the Family Research Instistitute. Cameron, a staunch opponent of gays and lesbians serving in the military responded "yes" to a statement by Jones that implied it is better to be killed in a terrorist attack than to share a shower with a gay man. Cameron also maintained that "a large proportion of male homosexuals enjoy drinking each other's urine."
Correction: An earlier edition of this article stated Paul Cameron worked fort Illinois Family Institute. He works for the Family Research Instistitute.
