This must be really tough for you seeing DADT repealed. You've always been such a strong supporter of presidents who believe in discriminating against gays (even to the point of amending the US Constitution).
Way to go Congress on the DADT. Obama continues to be the most friendly president towards homosexuals to date. I hope it continues.
No, he's sending soldiers to Afghanistan. The difference is now they can serve there without having to hide and lie about who they really are.
I wonder what people expect that to look like? I get the feeling some people expect them to break out in Pink and Purple camoflage and just start 'prancing around' like the Gay Stereotype you see in movies. Seriously. . . . What changes with this change? I don't think the FREAK OUT people is expecting is coming Rocket River
Great. We go from the "Screaming Eagles" to the "Flaming Queens". No doubt the Green Berets' counter-insurgency training will be now include interior decorating tips. I guess there's also the possibility of a Queer Eye for the Taliban Guy tv show.
Health care premiums and unemployment could triple in the next two years, but Obama will still get re-elected because of this. Explain to me exaclty why this couldn't be done in the first eight years of this decade. The one politically feasible issue in the gay rights platform, the one opportunity since the '50s to show tolerance, and Democrats once again take the ring.
American politics is a funny thing to me. You call getting absolutely nothing done 'Getting its act together'? What a strange way to run a country.
i dunno, i'm sort of looking forward to seeing the evildoers waterboarded by battalions of newlywed lesbians. i wish i'd said this first (can't remember where i saw it), but what a week for Obama- first he affirms the Bush administration's signature economic policy, and then refudiates the Clinton administration's signature military policy. the guy's on a roll.
