  • 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.
    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                I 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 .

                  It threw me off until I checked one of the non-religious definitions... 1. gnostic Of, relating to, or possessing intellectual or spiritual knowledge.

                      The only problem is that while Mr Fun takes on the gay attitude, it's not for him. It's for others. Let the others celebrate, the people that want to serve. It doesn't really include him. "Oh goody. Now my fellow gays can go fight for me" just loses something.

                        Gnostics basically believe they have some sort of special secret knowledge.

                          Was 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.

                          • Yes it was such a pressing issue. It's been a shame it took so long as it did.

                            • How so? And answers that equal to Fun feeling better about himself don't count.

                                Yes, clearly it was.
