Verdict on 1 year of gays serving openly in military: limited problems, lots of success

They are images Americans had never seen before. Jubilant young men and women in military uniforms marching beneath a rainbow flag in a gay-pride parade. Soldiers and sailors returning from deployment and, in time-honored tradition, embracing their beloved — only this time with same-sex kisses.

It’s been a year now since the policy known as “don’t ask, don’t tell” was repealed, enabling gay and lesbian members of the military to serve openly, no longer forced to lie and keep their personal lives under wraps.

Oh, yes, the CIA under Obama has a plot to suppress news of all the cases of gay guys pinching straight butt in the shower.

There, I've pre-empted the troll morons.

LMAO- Thanks for saving all that valuable time!

Is more proof needed of the rightness in the suppression of "don't ask don't tell"?

Sexual perversion openly expressed should have no place in the US military.

Numerous posts as usual which misrepresent reality, like a bunch of sociopaths have entered this thread and are simply talking out their gaping assholes about *events and characterizations which are inaccurate or don't exist*. It's quite mystifying. Four of the six posters above *so fully know* that they're misrepresenting reality; that's *WHY* they do it.

There were never, never complaints like this when straight people were doing it. Never. It made the news but there was no "gigantic outcry." Eternally, again and again, the antigay bust themselves by *SUDDENLY* complaining about something that has been in existence already, and complaining *SOLELY* where gay people are concerned -- with *NO* complaint for the corresponding straight behavior.
