The Lady Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks
The Party of No is at it again.
The GOP has already condemned as biased any findings on gays in the military that might come out of a planned nine-month Pentagon study on DADT that many expect will lead to its repeal.
I don't know. On the one hand I'm impressed — a little awed, even — by the level of single-minded conviction ignorance and bigotry inspires. Reason seems like passivity in its wake.
I mean, I can see why I might be a little obsessed with gays. I'm gay. What's their excuse?
Hmm. Could it be that "no" means "yes"?
It doesn't surprise me the GOP are so anti-gay, what surprises me is how many gay republicans there are. "Oh, I think I can work inside the party" is the excuse I hear most often. Really? If you were black, would you join the KKK to, "work within the party?" These moronic repubs would be happy to see us lined up and shot before they would allow us to serve in the military. I am gay, and I served in the military. Did any one of my fellow-soldiers ever "turn gay" because I served with them? Did I want them to? No, on both. The idea that somehow fags would "taint" the military is laughable. Raping women, ongoing racism, seems ok, but gays serving with dignity? It strikes more fear in closeted homophobes than even that we might want to marry each other!
