RE: [buffywantswillow] OT: Buffyverse Fanclubs and the Military

That's another thing, what the hell is with the whole 'Don't ask, Don't
tell' 
crap the US military runs? They don't ask if you are gay and you don't tell 
them you are gay, because if you do then they will discharge you. I think 
they really should get their heads out of their collective asses and wake
up. 


It is a huge pile of crap produced because of a a very vocal and
unfortunately very well funded group of bigots with political power. Eight
years ago when Cllinton first got into the presidency there was hope that he
would institute a halt to the 'witch hunting' of gays in the military.
Unfortunately, instead of standing up against intolerance and stupidity,
this was the result.
