Meanwhile, you can call your congressperson about "Don't ask, don't tell." As usual, if you can substitute the word gay for the word black, and people are repeating what they said about blacks 50 years ago, then it is prejudice, not reality.
An example, "It will ruin the army if blacks are allowed to serve alongside whites." This statement was untrue. Likewise the statement, "It will ruin the army if gays are allowed to openly serve alongside straights," is also an untrue statement.
This country was founded on the premise that all persons have equal rights. If a gay or lesbian wants to risk his/her life defending me, I am grateful, as I can no longer defend myself.
I will be back in June.
