Gays In The Army
Published February 10, 2012 | 
I want to talk about the fact that Obama has gotten rid of the “dont ask, don’t tell” part of being in the army. I think this was a great decision, as it shouldn’t matter what your sexual preference is. The main goal of the army is to fight for our country, and there’s no part of the job description that requires you to be straight. I never understood why that would even be a factor when it comes to who’s allowed to fight for our country. I always thought the rule about not saying that you were gay was actually a slap in the face to anyone who is gay. It’s like saying that they are ashamed to admit that they are gay, and there is no reason to feel this way.
Gay Marriage In Washington
Published February 10, 2012 | 
The time has finally come, and gay marriages have become legal in several states. Many of these states may be far away from you, and you may have to even travel far away just to get married. Well you are in luck if you are looking to get married,and you live in or near Washington. It’s been said that the Governor of Washington is going to sign the legislation to legalize gay marriage on Monday. We’ve been waiting a long time for this, and it is truly good news. Unfortunately we will have to wait until June to actually have it be effective, but considering how long we’ve waited, I think we can wait a little bit longer.
Santorum Speaks Out Against Gay Marriage in New Hampshire
Published January 5, 2012 | They say, “Live free or die” in the state of New Hampshire. Santorum doesn’t see it that way. His hands-on approach to denying gays their right to marriage shows clearly through his conservative agenda. The man is a card-carrying NRA member is looking to challenge Mitt Romney in the GOP battle of the decade as the election draws nearer. Defensively, Santorum spoke out against gay marriage to a gay-friendly crowd, comparing it to polygamy.
Gay Africans Seek Haven
Published October 29, 2011 | The parliament in Uganda seeks capital punishment for people who engage in homosexual acts. There is suspicion that this anti-gay mindset has its root in the teachings of U.S. evangelical groups. Uganda has received international attention, but it is not the only African nation with anti-gay laws. This may lead to more LGBT people seeking refuge in other countries, including the United States, if the international community doesn’t put pressure on Uganda and other African countries. Oddly, The United Nations and the U.S. State Department do not track whether refugees are displaced due to sexual orientation.
Gay Veteran Re-enlisting

He was discharged from the Coast Guard in 2002 for being open about being gay. After last month’s repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” Reinhardt has decided to enlist in the Navy Reserve.
Reinhart has been very vocal about repealing DADT after being ousted from the Coast Guard. Someone has finally heard his voice and listened. Reinhart is just one of many thousand of men and women who are affected by this change in a very positive way.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Marriage
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are clearly America’s perfect couple, except for one thing – they have kids and aren’t married. Why? Because they are principled people of influence who have made another commitment – not to get married until the entire country has equal marriage rights. Of course, the kids want mom and dad to tie the knot – who can blame them? Read more at the San Francisco Examiner.
Gays in the military come out
Published September 23, 2011 | The don’t ask, don’t tell (DADT) law took effect during the Bill Clinton era in 1993 and was the first step towards equality for gay people in the military. Now, 18 years later thanks to President Obama’s administration – also Democrats – homosexuals are able to openly express their sexual preferences without fear of losing their status in the military. As a result, many service men and women have come out to openly declare their preferences and this momentous victory in American history.
