GOP backs ‘don’t ask’ advocate

Washington Times: “House Minority Whip Eric Cantor and Rep. Roy Blunt, Missouri Republican, said they worried that a ‘new litmus test’ was created in the wake of the Air Force’s decision to retract the long-standing invitation to Mr. Perkins – a former Marine and an ordained minister – to speak at a prayer luncheon because his views were ‘incompatible’ with those of military personnel who answer to Mr. Obama. The lawmakers explained their case in a letter to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates obtained by The Washington Times.”
