Last nights debate/ Gays in the Military

[Shadow]

What makes me laugh is this whole two-tier mentality that such a stance generates ...

How can you possibly uphold a system whereby gay individuals have the right to vote, to bear arms (in their own homes), to join the emergency services, ok not to give blood , but to do all these other very important and significant things - i.e. painting the impression that we are on an almost equal footing with so-called "normal" people, and then have the audacity to level against us that the defence of the nation is not something we should be able to participate in (or, more accurately, that you should be allowed to participate in it, as long as you maintain the façade of normalcy). ARE we a part of society ? Or ARE we just bystanders who's presence is tolerated, but nothing more ...

WHAT IS NORMAL ANYWAY ?? Surely normal is people living their lives as they please, in peace and harmony ? And AS I've said before, the increased strength from fighting side-by-side with a man you would die for BECAUSE YOU LOVE HIM would only make the US Army - one of the strongest fighting forces on Planet Earth - even stronger, and that is a fact.

... but some people just won't listen to reason ...

*sigh*
