The Palm Center has released an amazingly detailed report of 25 different countries that allow gays to serve in their militaries. What effect did it have? Were there problems with hetero soldiers quitting? Were their attacks? The US is saying it’ll happen, but what does the precedent say? McShame McCain and his cronies are claiming [...]

The always amazing David Badash over at The New Civil Rights Movement points out that the Pentagon met with several anti-gay hate groups while working on the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell study.

President Barack Obama has just released a statement regarding the newly-available Pentagon Don’t Ask Don’t Tell study. He says this confirms what we have already known.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows that not only the majority of Americans, but also the majority of religious Americans favor a repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
