its really weird when you think about it that this was ever even an issue.

ugh. SHUT UP john mccain

the senate managed to bust up the DADT filibuster, and pass a cloture vote. now all that's needed to pass the bill repealing DADT is a simple majority, which should be easy enough to get. THEN, when obama, and mike mullens, and secretary gates, decide they've had enough of DADT, they will have the power to end it completely. so i guess it's essentially dead now (but don't come out yet if you're in the army!).

once defeat was imminent, mccain started rambling on and on about salons in georgetown and gold stars. jesus christ. just die already.

QUOTE: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Michael Mullen

In your "Don't ask, don't tell" testimony earlier this year, you argued that the policy is a threat to morale, because it undermines the honor and integrity of soldiers. What led you to that line of thinking?

I have a very difficult time leading an organization—one of whose pillars is integrity—and asking people to lie every single day they come to work.

a recent survey conducted with members armed forces indicates that on an individual level, most troops think serving with gays is nbd. the study is set to be announced in december (conveniently post-election, i might add), but the results were leaked to this guy, who chose to share them with rachel maddow.

thx joey tony.

did you hear about the gay kid from rutgers who killed himself

a lot of people read the internet and think that because of the guys on modern family or because dont ask dont tell is (maybe?) close to being repealed that its getting easier and easier to be a young gay person in america. step outside of yourself and realize that coming out is the most difficult thing a kid can do, and read this. give me a break please. i want to live in a world where gay kids dont feel like they have to kill themselves. and this one. and this one.
