Comments on: Time for answers on lifting military gay ban http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/25879 The oldest political news site on the Internet Thu, 23 May 2013 16:02:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: keith http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/25879/comment-page-1#comment-58570 keith Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:25:13 +0000 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/?p=25879#comment-58570 Just substitute the word “black” for “gay” in ANY of the arguments against lifting the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in our armed forces and the blatant bigotry of the perpetrators becomes readily apparent. Their “good order and discipline” dogma just doesn’t wash.

Most Western military forces have ALREADY removed policies excluding sexual minority members. Indeed, of the 26 countries that participate militarily in NATO, more than 20 permit open lesbians, gays, or bisexuals to serve; of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, three (United Kingdom, France, and Russia) do so.

And their “sky” has yet to “fall”.

I just read this on another forum… Apparently the Bill of Rights does not include gays? BTW Romney has been told by the LDS that the Mormom Church will never include gays either.
