Final today. About time. Bullets don't particularly recognize gay or straight people. Good coverage below.

Yup. About damn time. I'm sure the fundies heads are about to explode and their brain is in hyperbolic mode at the moment, with caps lock engaged.

One of the lowest points in American history but it is what it is. We'll either regain some semblance of a moral compass or we'll be relegated to the dustbin of history where we'd belong.

I was patiently waiting for the sky to start falling and the earth to erupt into volcanic chaos. I guess stupid conservatives were wrong again.

You kill 100,000 plus people in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that's not a big deal. But if one gay dude is allowed to get in on the killing, the world should end.

Looking forward to the SNL skit or Fox sitcom featuring an all-flamboyantly gay military division. I have previously suggested "Fort Fabulous" as a working title.

It's been pretty funny to watch this whole thing unfold. The only people who give a shit are Republican politicians, old Generals and editorial writer's. Everyone else just shrugs and thinks "should of happened ten years ago."

Sorry Jon, have to disagree with you on this (probably no shock to either of us), but, I'm not sure how allowing gays to serve openly is equivalent to something bad or a low point in our country's history.
As a vet myself, if someone wants to serve this country by volunteering for something that has the potential to be life ending, I don't care if you're gay or straight, just do your job honorably.

But how though? I guess I can't get into the mindset to understand that. I could see if there was at the very least a logical explanation, backed up by evidence and facts. "Just because I don't like it" or "I think it's wrong", doesn't cut it and is a poor, lazy excuse.

I'm pretty sure we've been down this road before Jedi and it basically boils down to religious beliefs.
Not sure if you really want to go down that road or not. |

I can see that and yes and I think it's sad that people do choose to be willfully ignorant. I don't feel sorry for them though. I just think it's sad and a bit pathetic that anyone would want to be uneducated by choice.

I disagree that it is not someone's choice. I know some people that have "tried it out" and then decided its not for them.
To me trying it out is not something you do for 6 months or a year or until you get bored. To me, bi-sexual makes sense to try out. "Do I feel comfortable with someone of the same sex touching me so I can get off?" I understand that. But swearing off a sex you prefer for the same sex, and then going back is most certainly a choice. Do I want it shoved in my face? No. Do I want to see hetero couples going at it in my face? No. I wish we could accept the fact that we are all different and all flawed. Each of us are flawed in different ways. Yes, being gay is a flaw. In nature, you would not be able to pass on your genes. That's a pretty big flaw in nature. So what, I have some OCD tendencies. In nature, I would obsess about where my nuts were while some bird of prey snagged me for dinner. That said, I really do not understand the "we're all going to burn!" mentality some have. How is being gay worse than murder (which we seem to be more forgiving of)? How is it worse than cheating on your wife? Why should it keep you from serving in the military? |

This is the question I always have, there are so many other terrible "sins" and what not that Christianity declares but for whatever reason someone being gay seems to be one of the few that the fundamentalists have decided to latch onto as the most terrible of them all. If many of them had it their way, people that are gay should probably be killed...

I wish that things would go back to the way they were. Keep things underwraps. I don't feel the need to shout to everyone that I am hetero, why do some gays feel the need to shout out that they are gay (ok, I get it to an extent, but once you're out, I don't need to repeatedly hear it)?
If I have a party and your date is Steve, Ron, whoever, that is perfectly fine. I have no problem with it. What people do in their private sex lives is up to them. For crying out loud, many straight people have freakier sex lives. All I ask from gays is that you don't hit on me. That said, if I go to their turf, say a gay bar (I've done the whole "Hey! Let's go to X gay bar, the dancing is better there" that women tend to have), go ahead and hit on me. I'm on your turf, I understand that. But when I say I'm straight, leave it at that. The biggest problem I have ever had with a gay guy was a guy in college (he was one of the RAs) telling everyone at dinner what their gay potential was. Why? What's the point? I fall into the "love the sinner, hate the sin" camp on this. |

I don't think fundamentalists have latched onto homosexuality because they think it's worse than the others, it's that they've gotten more push back. Who argues that murder isn't a sin? The heat and vitriol goes where the disagreement is. |

I'd vote for you even though I know about your meeting fiasco at work a few years back.

I've never understood why it mattered if it's a choice or not. There are many things we "choose" to do that should be totally free from government intervention. I was born a Catholic but am now Protestant. Does that mean my religious rights should be curtailed because I made a "choice"?

I'll say it before and I'll say it again. But when I see horny female cows eating each other out and mounting each other like they are having sex on a daily basis I have a hard time believing that there aren't biological factors at play.
And even if there was a bull around, they'd still be engaging in hardcore lesbian action to let the bull know they need some bull prick. Maybe that's the biological response we see in men when it comes to lesbian action getting them horny? |

I believe the reason for the distinction is whether gays are at fault for being who they are. If it is a choice, then they are bringing it on themselves. If it is not a choice (i.e. genetic), its not them, its their genes. They are blameless in it. Why should something that they are blameless in be considered a sin? Why should they suffer for something they can't control? |

I once saw a BBW web site that advertised "horny female cows eating each other out." Just thought you should know.

Why should they suffer for something they choose to do that doesn't harm anyone else? Why would that be okay but not okay to discriminate against me for choosing to be Episcopalian? Of course, I don't think it's a choice at all. I just don't think it matters one way or the other.

Sorry - I laughed pretty hard when I read Warhammer's first post. It did a great job of laying down a rallying point for all gay activists now and in the future.
"That said, I really do not understand the "we're all going to burn!" mentality some have. How is being gay worse than murder" BEING GAY - NO WORSE THAN MURDER!
