Such a handsome woman...
But seriously, you kissed a dude? That's cool. There are gay Republicans; you shouldn't be ashamed.

There doesn't seem to be a perfect solution here. Even if someone could convince the higher ups to discipline the shit out of people that go out of line harassing gay servicemen and protect subordinates who need to report their superiors for it, there would still probably be abuses and loopholes
I'm sure that I'm inviting a lecture from Bloodsage here, which I'd assume is warranted given how little I know about military protocol Kegwen fucked around with this message on 11-30-2009 at 08:30 PM.
The policy specifically prohibits individuals who "demonstrate(s) a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts" from serving in the military.
And, yes, it was signed into official military policy by the executive order of one William Jefferson Clinton.

But I'm pretty sure rabid Republicans are more likely to boot people out of the party for wanting to overturn it right now. Although not by much.
A recently proposed party litmus test would render pro-choice, anti-war, or otherwise socially libertine republicans personae non gratis. Someone on high certainly seems to think the party needs to lean more pro-big government and not place such an uncomfortable emphasis on allowing folks to run their own lives - to lean more to the left, in other words.
And how many NY Republicans voted for it? Zero. So obviously, Republicans are blaming Democrats for not getting enough Republicans to vote yes on the bill.
The Democrats who voted no on this are fuckers too, but not a single Republican voted for it. There's a trend going on here. Dr. Gee fucked around with this message on 12-02-2009 at 09:31 PM.
