Finally! Gay people can die alongside straight people.
The gay community must be rejoicing. They may soon be legally allowed to DIE for a country that is still on the fence about accepting them to begin with.

Re: Finally! Gay people can die alongside straight people.
I agree wholeheartedly. No more "studies", no more "hearings". The President (any President) could have fixed this years,,,Hell, decades ago. Just sign an Executive Order. That's what Truman did when it was time to integrate the military... no studies or hearings, just order it done.
P.S. Upon further research, the above is wrong. I thought "don't ask, don't tell" was a policy; it is indeed a law. Therefore the President can't fix it via Executive Order.

Re: Finally! Gay people can die alongside straight people.
Jon Stewart did a great bit on this, and McCain was made to look both contradictory and the fool.
My take on gays in the military is actually a bit conservative. I believe, quite frankly, that it is wrong to force me to get naked and shower in front of someone who may want to have sex with me. Be it guy or girl. So, until the military develops individual showers for all or simply makes the showers unisex like in Starship Troopers, I'm again'it. On to my next argument: Why Unisex Showers Are The Shiznit |

Re: Finally! Gay people can die alongside straight people.
The Senate Republi-Assholes (tired of mincing words here) have made it quite clear that NOTHING will happen in Congress until the richest 2% get their 4% tax cut. The fat and happy buffing each others' bums, of course.

Re: Finally! Gay people can die alongside straight people.
Nope, it actually succeeded. Gay men and women will indeed be able to serve openly in the future. I love that they actually conducted a survey about how it would affect the military. As if (A) there aren't gay men and women there already and (B) anyone really gives a shit whether the person dragging them from the battlefield because they've been shot several times, is gay or straight.
