Gays All Around




Now wouldn't the late Jerry Falwell just turn in his grave if he heard about this? The courts have found that now, discharging a gay from the military is damn near unconstitutional. If any branch of the military discharges you for "being a homosexual or engaging in homosexual activity" then they must prove that you are bad for morale. Which most likely they wont, unless you cursed the country and its flag and just so happened that you are a gay, then they can.

"Gay service members who are discharged can sue in federal court, and if the military doesn't prove it had a good reason for the dismissal, the cases will go forward."

But now its clear, the "Don't ask, Don't tell" stupid policy is numbered in days. We are slowly and surely earning the stance to be considered an equal human beings, just like the heteros. We are slowly but surely getting our marriage rights, Texas struck down its ban on sodomy law, gays in the military, the list goes on. Hopefully, the next president will see that this movement is inevitable and that he (or she) needs to get on the bandwagon, or get left behind.

I suppose I can dig in my closest and underneath all my junk, can start to pull out the old red, white and blue. I won't hang it yet, not till there is truly justice for all.
