Looks like for some u.s soldiers the war is going to be over before they get out of the shower.
 
How utterly sad that our elected representatives and senators appear incapable of making distinctions:

From the OP linked article:

Stealing the language of the civil rights movement, they have succeeded in making a flawed comparison between racial discrimination and homosexual sexual acts; even though it is a comparison without merit. Membership in a racial category is a status; homosexual sexual practices are voluntary sexual actions.

and this

Equating how one engages in non-marital sexual acts with a member of the same sex to being a member of a particular race or gender - thereby making practicing homosexuals a “protected class” for civil rights purposes - is legally and socially dangerous. One is a status; the other involves a behavior and a lifestyle.
 
I think we need to remember the DADT would cause the dismissal of a soldier who admits to attending a Courage meeting…
 
When I clicked the link the first word I saw was “Opinion”. So not sure how legitimate a news source it is. But maybe I’m confusing forum rules for world news vs catholic news and what is opinion or a blog and what is a legitimate news source.

But my opinion is sure it is. Gays and lesbians serving us bravely in our armed forces now will have the right to answer truthfully about who they are or for instance what they did over a weekend or during when they had some free social time. They can now for instance say took my bf’/gf out for a romantic dinner. Just like heterosexuals have had the right.
 
Opinion, not a news article. Please review the forum rules posted at the top of the forum before creating a thread.
