Pretty exciting that they can serve openly. And this is going to do HUGE things for gay equality once the good ol' boys return from Iraq and say things like "wait... Bob... who saved my life? He can't marry his boyfriend? Isn't this America?"
And that said... wow... what a great-looking bunch of people there.

this truly is a great thing. To think that someone who willingly signed up to serve our country in the military had to hide who they were is appalling.

A gay serviceman calls his dad to tell him on the day he can finally come out.This video gives me chills. And wow... what a great reaction from his dad.

Homosexuality aside, why wouldn't you want people who willingly signed up for the military to be able to serve?

Was it hard to come out to your family? And please forvige me if my question is too personal :oops:
Whoever signs voluntarily to serve his country knowing the horror stories of the war is a hero in my book even if they love other manly men

fair enough, I just would end it with whether you agree with the lifestyle, you have to respect the willingness to serve. that was my point.
Have a good weekend buddy

enjoy your weekend man !

And since you're not an active duty seviceman, I don't give a plate of boat a shit what you like.
Not sure why you "like" gay and lesbian servicemen and women to have to lie to their units and commanding officers, but I'm sure you have your reasons. Stupid ones, I'm sure. But reasons nine the less.
I didn't get the chance. My sister outer me to get revenge on me for being my parent's favorite.
To be fair, my sister is an insufferable c*nt and my parents liked me better because she's an insufferable c*nt. So outing me didn't really work, it just made her look like even more of an insufferable c*nt than she already did.

You're a hateful, narrow-minded bigot. You bring zero value to AMT. Please leave.
do you like baking fruit cakes with your boy friend also ?...I mean it's cool by me you can do as you wish it's your life but please don't send me one of your fruit cakes or nut loafs at Christmas I'd just throw them away
Godfather.
Sorry, but the way you worded that is just priceless!
Anyway, haven't talked to my brother about this at all yet, but I'm sure he is pretty happy about this. I'm not really sure of the details of DADT policy. My brother is a civilian working for the Army Core of Engineers, and even volunteered to go work in Iraq for 6 months back in 2008.
I think he once told me people at his office in D.C. knew, but I'm not sure if he had to keep it to himself while in Iraq or not.
I don't have a boyfriend, I have a husband. For nearly 20 years.
Don't you need to go re-inflate the only woman whose touch you'll ever know?
how long has it been since you've been laid? It's all you seem to think and talk about here... I've got the over/under at 18 months.
You know, they say homophobia is a projection of your own latent homosexual desires. Think about it. Maybe that's why you're not good with women. Maybe you just subconsciously lust for a man's touch.
I havn't had a good laugh in a week or so thank you both very much !
enjoy your week-end guys.
Godfather.
Godfather.
His treatment of this subject, through humor, is a classical defense mechanism that he's unconsciously using to protect his ego. More precisely, when the id impulses (latent homosexual desire) conflict with super-ego values and beliefs (Christian stigma regarding homosexuality as evil), this is an external threat that is posed to the ego. Humor is his style of defense. Psychology 101.
and if I didn't laugh at all this stuff I'd be a pissed off mess all the time and that's just no fun.
but I think "he still stands" gets a little too.......ahh I can't think of the word right now but it will come to me
Godfather.
how incredibly disrespectful these statements are ... rather telling to me as a woman
terrible word to call even your worse enemy.
And if parents are obviously playing favorites there is more problems than we know for you
I am sorry for that part the most ... parents are the unity that holds the family together.
On subject... the current changes in the military will hopefully
be a positive for all serving and those they are protecting...
much respect to all our service men and women.
how does Prince's story of (I'm guessing here) a traumatic life experience have anything to do with Godfather being a homophobic bigot? It's the ol' "my hair is a bird, your argument is invalid" fallacy of logic.
Because he uses the word "cunt" he is disrespectful to you, personally? It's a word. Get over yourself.
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU !!!!!
you might want to take your own advice cup cake and get over your own self.
Godfather.
I guess it is ok to call women names then... I think not...I think disrespect is disrespect in my book
whether that is against gays or women or whomever
that is the whole point ... how can you jump on Godfather and not the Op for his obvious bigotry.
Not about me just want everyone to see the hate they share on this board
I called my obnoxious, self-centered and selfish bratty sister a c*nt. I can't think of another word that fits.
This is the person who threw a huge fit that I wouldn't be an usher at her wedding (when she'd been living with the guy for years but threatened me if I told the grandparents because they were going to "buy us new stuff for our new home) and then sat there with a satisfied look on her face when I sat in the front row and the minister said during the ceremony (at my sister's insistence, by the way) that it's not "a real marriage unless there are children."
This is a person who's gone out of her way to "get even" with me for our parents being closer with me when the distant relationship she has with them is her own fault... her selfish, rude and totally irrational behavior for most of her life made it impossible to even like her much. Every family event would turn into a huge argument if she didn't get her way... she would bulldoze over the whole family and throw outrageous and embarrassing temper tantrums if people didn't do as she said... If you can think of a word that better describes her, I'm all ears.
And it has zero to do with the topic at hand. I don't find it surprising that you desperately look for a way to get upset. It's part of your... modus operandi.
Actually... no... I think he's right about you.
You get yourself worked up into a big pool of Santorum every time the subject of gay anything comes up. You go out of your way to make bizarre, meaningless statements like "I don't agree with it" or "I don't like it" but refuse to explain what you mean by that.
And you seem to use a lot of girly gay references like "cupcake" and "fruit cake" which only the deeply-closeted men use.
Just come out, Godfather... you'll feel much better.
