Unfortunately, Obama hasn’t done squat for the LGBT community. After the DADT vote it should be painfully obvious that ALL of the Republicans and many of the Blue Dog Democrats are the enemies of the LGBT community. Obama hasn’t been so much an enemy as a do nothing, despite his claim that he would be a “Fierce Advocate” for our community. Maybe now he will tell his justice department to back off and not appeal the Federal Courts ruling that DADT is unconstitutional. Since the GOP and gutless Dems can’t get the job done, we must depend on the courts.

Military, you seem to be confused. You work for me. Just as I worked for the civilians when I was in the Army many years ago. When I and my fellow citizens inform the members of Congress what we want they inform you. And just like I was told when I was in the army, when told to jump, I asked how high on the way up and when told to shit I asked how much as a went into a squat. There is no where in the Constitution of 1787 that says some people are entitled to privileges denied to others. It specifically states that Congress has the authority to raise armies If you can’t follow orders, get the hell out of the military.

Silly me, I thought that America was a constitutional republic in which we the people, acting through the civilian government, did tell the military how to run. If you don’t like that state of affairs, then perhaps you’d be happier if you quit our military and joined North Korea’s.

As a former member of the military, I want to state emphatically that it is not a privilege to be killed for your country. The fact of the matter is that in the past, every able-body male was drafted into the military unless you were gay (or at least said you were gay). These days you have to volunteer to be in the military and that includes felons, nut cases, and those who kill their fellow-servicemen so don’t give me that privilege nonsense. And, yes, I’m gay. And I don’t want your body either.

Gibbs did not leave the room. Instead he finished his sentence like this ” …….. things done in the future. Thanks, guys.”
And then he left as usual.

So what about the homosexuals who pass your test and are admitted into the military? By this logic they were the “worthy” that were “selected”. How can you argue that those who have earned that privilege should then be discharged because of being homosexual?

It seams to me that you are saying what Gaga said the only part you missed was the equal rights part. It seams to me like the republicans are still in the early years of the 20 th century this is the 21 st and time for them to get with the program .It is not right to discriminate against anyone Black,female or gay

Serving in OUR NATION’S MILITARY IS NOT A RIGHT IT IS A PRIVILAGE! AND THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE WORTHY ARE SELECTED – NOT ALL – THE FEW. If you have never served in a combat situation and understand the stress that will accompany, do not tell us how to run our military – we don’t tell YOU how to sing or what to wear – but, we defend your right to wear or say anything and until you can say that and pass ALL the test the military has – step aside and let us do our job and get back to whatever it is you do.
