Pentagon: No Plans to Change 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Policy After Court Ruling

You don't have the votes now when you control both the senate and the house and you damn sure won't have the votes after November when the Republicans take over both houses..........

Ain't gonna happen Navy....the Tea Party continues to give gifts to the Democrats!
 
Get ready Navy....this is just a small wave on the bow of the ship....you are going to get blown overboard when the real waves start rolling in.....

You have been spouting that stake kine for years DD and you still don't have DADT lifted or gay marriage..........

The tide shifts slow but sure. You simply can't stop it. ;)

Navy, the only reason some republicans are opposed to doing it now is the study not done. Many more republicans have not committed.
 
The veterans on this forum don't all agree with you. Speak for yourself, as many of the vets here think not only is DADT repeal coming, but that it will work.

1) I never said that all the vets on this forum agree with me.

2) Show me the quotes that prove that MOST vets on this forum say that abolishing DADT will work.

Thanks in advance.
 
I'm gay. I'm not going to join the mlitary while there is a risk of people finding out and then kicking me out. If DADT didn't exist, then I very likely would have joined before I began grad school.

DADT didn't lift the ban on gays serving in the military.

You don't even have you own party on board....There are a lot of dems against lifting the ban also........

Nobody ever said it was going to happen over night Navy, but the seeds have been planted and its headed your way....get ready.
 
Not in your lifetime ......................

Keeping telling yourself that Navy...but I suggest you find somewhere to put your anti-gay hatred...because its going to be very unfashionable in the very near future.

What's that supposed to mean? Navy Pride, or anyone else for that matter, is free to hate anyone he wants and you can't tell him otherwise. This is America!

Yep, just like it is free to hate homophobes and racists, This is America!!. Just like the KKK isn't well liked, neither will be the homophobes in the future. Deal with it.

You're absolutely right. Ready to deal with both sides of that coin?

The homophobes have already dished it out for the past 200 years, time for them to get a dose and choke on it.
 
Why would someone be fearful of gays? that is kind of an oxymoron no? I thought most gay people were the happiest and nicest people around and people hate them? It's not like they go around killing people, come on it's the 21st century.

Stop the personal attacks Disney. Navy has never said he hates gays. That is your false charge just because he doesn't agree with you.

Is it simply impossible for you and a few others to understand that being against homosexuals on an issue doesn't make you a bigot, homophobe, etc? Is that even possible for you to understand?

So what does it make you?

Its not a personal attack and I never said that Navy admitted that he does. His constant anti-gay attacks though tell a different story.

If it looks like a duck, smell like a duck and sounds like a duck.....guess what.....its a duck.

That's no different than saying...."Just because I don't believe that Blacks are entitled to the same rights and privileges as the rest of us....doesn't make me a racist or a bigot".

Guess what.......it does.
 
I support the repeal of DADT, but I am also against gay marriage. Am I a homosexual bigot?

Well, actually, it would depend on the issue.

If, for example, texmaster was opposed to a federally funded road construction project in Arizona.

And, for some reason, the entire "gay community" (the "official" one, that is) supported it.

Would that make him a "bigot, homophobe, etc?"

Nope.

----------------------

On the other hand, if texmaster supported a law requiring catching any known gay person and placing them in a cage hanging from a bridge (yes, I pulled that one out of my ass).

And for some reason (yeah, right), the entire "gay community" (probably not just the "official one") opposed it, then yes, he would be a bigot/homophobe, among other things.

-------------------

So, what is the issue he disagrees with homosexuals on, in this case?
 
I support the repeal of DADT, but I am also against gay marriage. Am I a homosexual bigot?

If you believe that you are entitled to rights/privileges that others are not....then the answer would be yes.
