Being out is not the same as talking about your sex life. Straight people are out all the time about their sexual orientation, including in the military. Unlike gays, straight people do not have to sacrifice their integrity to serve their country.

Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostThat's a fair point. DADT was one of the few remaining gay rights issues left at the federal level. I was talking about beyond gay rights though. Things like public defender pay are much bigger problems I think..

Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui View PostI think homosexual civil rights are more important. I'd also imagine that vast majority of homosexuals, of which Fun is one, would think so as well.

Yes it was such a pressing issue. It's been a shame it took so long as it did.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Originally posted by DinoDoc View PostWas it such a pressing issue with the United States Armed Forces that it had to be rushed through a last minute session of Congress rather than being dealt with by the new Congress? It barely arises to a meh for me and I can barely imagine squealing with joy over its repeal as you and Fun did.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
