Leonard Pitts column...

Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 06:04 AM by gator_in_Ontario

Sometimes, the battle over gay rights reminds me of a science fiction movie.

As Exhibit A, I refer you to a little-noticed news item from last month. It was about three retired members of the U.S. military who disclosed that they were gay. What made it noteworthy is that these were not just any three grunts, but two generals and an admiral.

3. Hard to believe such a good piece gets no recognition

Thanks, gator, for posting it! Pitts is an excellent columnist. His post 911 column brought me to tears.
