One: The vote yesterday in the house didn't come out of nowhere. There have been gays and lesbians fighting about their jobs in the armed forces for years and years and years. I'll try to make this simple: it had already reached the boiling over point when Bill Clinton (president) undertook to do away with the restrictions and unfairness, but then the conservative side was sayin NO NO, we need a compromise an that's how "Don't ASK Don't TELL" was born.
Two: The vote yesterday was done because the Senate has stalled and stalled about approving the military budget an that bill has "Don't ASK Don't TELL repeal" on it an that's why now they're runnin scared and pointin fingers and sayin this an that.
So long story short, if you're worried about our sons and daughters overseas I would urge you to educate yourself and call your Senator because would you rather have your soldier child dead, or serving with a gay or lesbian person they may not even know or ever talk to.
So everyone just calm down an stop pretending this is some secret deal they made in the House of Reps. Its been discussed to death all over capital hill and its HIGH Time we threw out that trash "Don't Ask Don't Tell".
