Army Recruiter Outrages with Homophobic and Racist emails

A shocking and bigoted exchange between an Army recruiter and a Jersey City man was reported by the Jersey Journal. Corey Andrew (photo right) was contacted by Army recruiter Sgt. Marcia Ramode from a resume he had posted on the CareerBuilder.com. Andrew, a black gay male and a talented singer, replied to the recruiter and expressed how happy he was to now be able to serve as a gay American. Then came the shocking reply which led to an exchange that took place over to course of three days with choice remarks from the recruiter as:

"...being gay is disgusting and immoral."

and ...

"GO BACK TO AFRICA AND DO YOUR GAY VOODOO LIMBO TANGO AND WANGO DANCE AND JUMP AROUND AND PRANCE AND RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE HALF NAKED THERE."

Read the full transcripts at the above links. Everyone in the community should be outraged. However, were it not for idiots like this recruiter and the Tim Hardaway's of the world, the dialogue over this moronic national policy would not be so heated. I contacted and interviewed Corey Andrew to verify this shocking story. There will be much follow-up to come. Stay tuned.
