One of the greatest dangers to the peace of any nation is when those who carry the guns and wield the authority of the law, become spokesmen, advocates and evangelists for those who represent a morally bankrupt form of lawlessness. This concern is highlighted in bold by the actions of San Antonio Police Chief William McManus, who this month served as the Grand Marshall of the San Antonio Homosexual Pride Parade.

Commenting on the tragedy, Don Wildman writes: “Unfortunately, it gets worse. The San Antonio Police Department has committed, for the first time, to an 8-hour-long homosexual “sensitivity” class as part of the San Antonio Police Department’s career development program. Plus, the SAPD will launch an outreach program to recruit more homosexuals to serve as police officers.”

Given the threat to the moral climate of the San Antonio community of an armed homosexual integrated police force, and the open hostility of many militant homosexuals to Christians, I can think of few things more threatening to the long-term peace of this city. San Antonio is widely known as one of the more family-friendly (comparatively) of the prominent American cities. But that day may soon be coming to an end if the land of the Alamo takes on a spirit similar to Austin.

Homsexual behavior was long on the lawbooks as a crime in the state of Texas. A recent Supreme Court decision has called into question the legitimacy of this law, but even the United States Supreme Court cannot overturn the moral law of God which is quite clear on the subject.

KSLR radio host and Vision Forum’s good friend, Adam McManus (no relation to Chief McManus), is leading the charge in opposition to the tragic direction our community’s police chief is leading San Antonio. Adam urges like-minded Christians to attend the next San Antonio City Council meeting on Thursday, August 2nd at 6 p.m. This is an opportunity for San Antonians to publicly express their heartbreak and concern to Mayor Phil Hardberger and the City Council (who serve as employers to the police chief).

I commend Adam for his work on this subject, and remind Christian citizens of this community that, as an informed member of the electorate, to say nothing is to accept moral evil.
