So the log cabin republicans do something worthwhile. Good on them.

I wanted to read this on Fox News first, not for the article, but for the comments from their homophobic readers. Naturally, they had plenty to say about a judge appointed about Clinton, California falling into the ocean, the end of the U.S. as a military power, the end of the world as we know it, etc etc etc.

Don’t you think that the poor return results of the “surveys” as a percentage of those sent out is an indication that the troops could care less who is bunking beside them. My son served in Iraq. I specifically asked him about this since I came out when he was 8 years old. (Yes, times were tough back then, but we’ve survived as a father – son relationship.) I, knowing nothing of the military, did not understand what the word ‘clear’ meant. He explained it in the simplest of terms, “My ass is in your hands.” When he stepped into the line of fire, all he was concerned about was the word ‘clear’, that his buddy backed him up 100%. There was no concern of gay or straight, or black or white, or christian or atheist. ‘Clear!’

Wow, isn’t it amazing that a Republican group would get this over turned during a Democratic administration? Hasn’t the ACLU ever tried to over turn it?

And since the Log Cabins are a republican group, I’m curious how all the other Republicans will take it?

We will now get to see how President Obama really feels about gay and lesbian servicemembers. If he appeals this ruling, we will have the clearest message yet that he has nothing but contempt for gay and lesbian Americans, and gay and lesbian servicemembers in particular.
