Second Thoughts on Gays in the Military - New York Times
Its about time for American politicians to give up this bullshit prejudice against gay soldiers. What next, Pelosi will give in to the PETA lobby and decide that meat-eaters have no place defending America? Why not, it seems just as arbitrary. Not that big a percentage of soldiers are gay so the troop-strength arguments are lame. Its not that because we throw out gays we have no Arabic linguists. The total number of troops thrown out for being gay are far fewer than the number the military throws out for weighing too much. By the way, yes, they do that.
The best argument for allowing gay people to be in the military is freedom. Anyone who wants to be in the military who otherwise would qualify has no business being excluded because of where they put their genitals on their own time. I have to agree with Barry Goldwater here, "You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight."
