Default cal judge rules on gay mil. ban

unconstitutional! it's about time!!


http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=129763013

A federal judge in Southern California on Thursday declared the U.S. military's ban on openly gay service members unconstitutional because it violates the First Amendment rights of gay and lesbians.

U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips granted a request for an injunction halting the government's "don't ask, don't tell" policy for gays in the military.

Phillips said the policy doesn't help military readiness and instead has a "direct and deleterious effect" on the armed services.

The lawsuit was the biggest legal test of the law in recent years and came amid promises by President Obama that he will work to repeal the policy.

I'm just teasing you















I know you're all man!





















I'm pretty sure you are





















Actually, for all I know, you may be a muskrat

Nice!

The sooner people realize that being gay is only one small part of the whole human being, the better off we'll all be... same as being left handed, Baptist, opera lover, etc. You don't have to agree with it (especially opera lovers - yuck!) but if you want to be a member of society, you need to learn to deal with it.

If you don't like homosexuality, then don't be a homosexual. How is that not easy for people to understand?

Hopefully they don't start voting on opera lovers' rights too, soon, or I'm doubly screwed.

Ok, only half-kidding, because I don't love opera, but pop/rock-opera like Sarah Brightman isn't all that far away.
