It is a disgrace that we have in the US today a country which has given equality to blacks, and even to Muslims, many of whom are out to destroy Western civilization, yet gays, most of whom are benign, simply because they are born with a certain preference which they can do nothing about, are discriminated against. And the state sanctions this discrimination! How disgusting! How utterly disgusting! How awful! How totally unacceptable!
As Reagan once famously said to the Soviet leader: "Tear down this wall, Mr Gorbachov!" I say today to the American leader: Tear down this wall of discrimination, Mr Obama! Bring America into the first world! – © Mark
PINK NEWS: US president Barack Obama will treat repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell as a priority this year, it has been reported.
According to the New York Times, the White House has been holding meetings on the issue for the past year with defence secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Obama mentioned the law in his State of the Union address last week, having promised in his 2008 election campaign he would repeal it.
He reportedly knew his administration could be forced to defend the 1993 law if court cases challenging it reached the Supreme Court.
Last week, Gates' spokesman revealed that he would be presenting to lawmakers plans on how to repeal the law. Repealing military gay ban a priority for Obama in 2010 >>> Jessica Green | Monday, February 01, 2010
