DADT only the first step
As others have stated, welcome to the slippery slope:

.MIL file
Hey sinjefe that's a .mil file. Is this the story you were talking about?
Gay rights group pushes for more military changes
Read more: http://www.gazette.com/articles/righ...#ixzz1YaujGKTA
"............."Gay, lesbian and bisexual service men and women can walk a little taller today and that's a great thing, but there's still so much to do," said Beth Brooker, Get Equal's Virginia leader. "Same sex couples can't live on base together, they don't have medical benefits, they don't have travel allowances, they don't have housing allowances. They don't even have the right to be notified if their partner dies in battle."........................."
I didn't think SGLI and NOK notification was that strict.

Why shouldn't gay couples have the same rights as straight couples? Especially gay citizens who choose to fight for our freedom.

You obviously didn't read the article. Next time, read before you comment.

Everybody agrees to draw a line.
The argument is over where to draw the line.
Why should an 18 year old in the Military not be allowed to drink? Society says "NO".

And as was ACCURATELY forecast when all this shit was brought out by the current administration....
It had absolutely ZERO to do with their "simply wanting to serve" and everything to do with pushing their agenda.
Damn sheeple....

If you had ever spent time on an ODA you'd know! As I was taught:
"You'll never see an I in the word TEAM!"
Stay safe.

I fail to see the point of your question...

I was referring to your "slippery slope" comment; the article wasn't really necessary. Although I did read it, and just re-read it now to see if I could understand how my statement was indicative of having a lack of information regarding what it contained. I'm missing something I guess. Maybe you didn't mean that the repeal of DODT is a bad thing as I originally assumed.

I guess that depends on whether the thought of deploying with a gay bastard makes you want to puke blood, like it does me.
