It's not a free country if heterosexuals can be open about their orientation but gays can't.

Let them serve, I don't care what your orientation is or what your gender is ... all I care about is whether you have your right index finger or not.

This is wrong on so many levels, and by wrong I mean both incorrect and just plain wrong in principle.

"faught" LOL


How dare people demand equal protection under the law. I mean where is that in the Constituition?

/except in that pesky 14th Amendment. Homosexual commies must have slipped that in there...

//oh and there's that First Amendment issue too
///and Fourth.

But other than that.....

It's funny how some people think like this. Heteros can walk around holding hands, hugging and kissing. That's fine, right. A peck on the cheek, holding hands, a hug...fine Standing holding, kissing and fondling on the street. It ticks me off from any couple. The days of gays in the closet is gone my friend. It's time for you to teach your child about everything...including gays.

Heteros always think it's apart them. Gays don't want you. You just think that do.

This is the same military -- hated it when women wanted to become pilots, right. The same military the Chief of Staff had to step down, because of his sexist rants toward women. The same military discriminating against people of color. I've always worked with the military, so I see and hear their comments. Once, a Colonel said, where is his chinese azz. As a black woman, I said, to myself -- only god knows what he says about me.

Oh, yeah, the military has a great system...NOT!!

Eh no, this country was NOT founded on religion. It was founded on the secular ideals of the Enlightenment by freethinkers, most of whom were Deists and mostly non-religious. They went to great pains to keep religion OUT of the founding of the nation and its government.

But this somehow doesn't apply to Christians religious zealots, right?

Keep your effing religion (and your false sense of entitlement) to yourselves.

But think of how pretty y'all will look All those feathers and shiny sequin. Of course...you'll stand out like a sore thumb during war and PETA will hate your face for it...but that's a small price to pay for looking fierce and fabulous
