"You Would Have Been BALEETED..."

Corrected! See what I did thar?
I'm unsure how you cant get past the language of the rule that Vinny just explicitly posted, as well as the story posted above about a woman discharged because of homosexual acts AT HOME.
In specific, regarding the cases above, do you agree that they should've been discharged? Isn't it enough to see that gays do not ruin 'unit cohesion' AUTOMAGICALLY, and that a blanket ban like DADT is retarded?
Are YOU that intolerant that knowing someone is gay makes you uneasy, or is this something you just notice in fellow soldiers? If so, permission to call you or your fellow serviceman intolerant douche bags (although I still appreciate their service). If not, THEN WHAT IS THE ****ING PROBLEM OF REPEALING IT? I think that is the most important point. Te only reason someone wouldn't want DADT repealed is because they inherently think that gays are different and cause people uneasiness, which is relatively absurd in our generation.
And yes, vinny is marginalized. How can you argue that hes not? Now he's not hung from trees obviously, but relative to 'married people', he most certainly is. It's absurd that we give rights and exemptions for an institution like marriage, yet gays are not offered the same rights or exemptions (varying from state to state, of course)
