Repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Wow...so Congress finally did the right thing and repealed Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Full implementation will probably take right up to the new fiscal year.

It's about time. 95% of gays are no different than us straights, other than the gender of the person they go home to at night.

Being gay doesn't automatically mean you're a sexual predator. Being gay doesn't automatically mean you're going to regale everyone with tales of your sexual exploits. Being gay doesn't mean you're automatically overly promiscuous.

There's fear, uncertainty, and doubt being sown by people who believe only their religious beliefs should hold sway over all of us, and it's sad.

Gays are people, just like us straights, and all they want to do is live their lives.

Purpose of this blog

I created this particular blog just to post my opinion about news issues of the day. I'm not really going to post stuff out of my personal or professional life on *this* blog. I just hope to spark some interesting discussion.

Who am I? I'm a software engineer, database developer, and Army Reserve Soldier.
