Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't See, Don't Hear

I thought the Liberal Dems were supposed to be big supporters of the gay community. So why are they shooing reporters out of Lafayette Park away from Gay Rights protestors in full Military Uniform? They are now saying that this was "strictly a US Parks screw up", but I'm not buying it. They don't "screw up" when it's people protesting other issues. Why is he trying to duck this issue?

What is the big problem with having Gay's in the military? The greeks used it to quite an effect. Their gay soldiers were some of their most fierce fighters and were honored. American Indians considered gay people to be holy because they contained the essence of both male and female in the same vessel. The western world is so consumed by their pursuit of someone else's sex life, (and whether they are getting more than them) that they forget why they are really there. They are there to fight and protect our country, not to find a date. Everyone says that we need to get out of the homophobic mindset, well this would be a great place to start. Stop perpetuating the myth that if you are around a gay person they are going to be overcome by desire for you and molest you. Stop giving the impression that gay is "contagious".

I have news for you all, gay people are just like straight people. They have certain types of people that they are attracted to, and you probably aren't one of them. Let me ask you this, when you are in line at the grocery store and there is someone of the opposite sex in front of you, are you overcome by the desire to ravish them right there? My bet is no. And that is exactly the same way that gay people feel. Your ass ain't that attractive.

So quite trying to make our military a straight only club. Give up your impression that you are irresistable to the same sex as well as the opposite sex. Get over it and let these folks be themselves. Our country will be a better place for it.
