As a member of PFLAG (formerly Parents, friends and families of lesbians and gays)I have strong feelings about inclusion, but I can't always define it.<br /><br />I love what your daughter said, and commend her forthrightness.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-34652591308554128302010-05-26T10:59:21.103-04:002010-05-26T10:59:21.103-04:00what i hate hate hate is the coverup that's re...what i hate hate hate is the coverup that's required. straight persons can walk down the street and be totally accepted just for being straight--whatever else they're not accepted for. and your daughter says nobody in the service really cared if anyone was gay as long as they were good sailors. a recent washpost poll put "don't care" about gays in the military at somethingXtreme Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536661018563937509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-64660858819103621622010-05-26T09:51:16.198-04:002010-05-26T09:51:16.198-04:00Yeah, I'm not sure where you are on allowing h...Yeah, I'm not sure where you are on allowing homosexuals to serve in the military. DADT, of course, was a compromise between the outright ban on homosexuals in the service and completely lifting the ban. My understanding of the current push is that the intention is to remove the ban.Harold/AQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325704348378951011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-39150573735053249802010-05-26T09:50:43.809-04:002010-05-26T09:50:43.809-04:00You and I have discussed this before; so you alrea...You and I have discussed this before; so you already know I disagree. Many militaries from around the world do have gays serving openly and it works (like Israel). To ask people to serve under a lie is unfair and doesn't make sense. Do straights fear all gays will want them sexually? They are no different than straights where some appeal and some do not. Unless a gay is a predator, they won&#Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848224790511034144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-90693930727316606442010-05-26T03:02:59.426-04:002010-05-26T03:02:59.426-04:00My vote is for abolishing the MILITARY, but until ...My vote is for abolishing the MILITARY, but until then, i agree with Linda.Xtreme Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536661018563937509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-36755326235506163952010-05-25T18:11:54.567-04:002010-05-25T18:11:54.567-04:00How are you and how’s everything going?

Are you saying you want the "don't ask don't tell" policy to remain in place as it is?<br /><br />If I understand it, that policy in essence prevents gays from serving in the military because they would be discharged as soon as their sexual orientation was known.<br /><br />I cannot support that position.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-65535688681773375102010-05-25T15:42:12.920-04:002010-05-25T15:42:12.920-04:00I agree, Kay, and I went to see TravelinOma too.I agree, Kay, and I went to see TravelinOma too.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-21000734740204252592010-05-25T14:18:46.743-04:002010-05-25T14:18:46.743-04:00Thanks for linking, Kay!Thanks for linking, Kay!Travelin'Omahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415472674768977723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-29892667680689735012010-05-25T13:29:55.655-04:002010-05-25T13:29:55.655-04:00I agree with you 100%
