As for the DADT bull, it is time for the military to grow up and start treating gay and lesbian persons as everyone else. Sexual orientation isn’t the problem. The problem is hatred of gay and lesbian persons perpetrated by the organization itself. I have a cousin who served in Viet Nam. He is gay. He came home with a bronze star and a silver star. He also came home with PTSD which has impacted the rest of his life. His sexual orientation didn’t have a damn thing to do with his being willing to give his life for his country.
