Oh really? So faggot military personnel are not part of "our" people? I guess not, since their faggotry means they are to be booted out.
And, yeah, natch, that means no concern need be given to the families of gay servicemembers.
Feh.
Colin Powell's remarks that the policy should be "reviewed," not repealed, are - in a way - even more disturbing ... considering the comparatively paltry level of public support for racially integrating the armed services he rose to the top of as a black man, at the time when Harry Truman ordered that done vs. the level of support for allowing gay people to serve openly now, mid-2009.
Double Feh.
