I see a number of posts that apparently missed this statement:

Defense Secretary Robert Gates urges his audience not to to "become distracted" over the possible repeal of DADT.

THE POSSIBLE REPEAL. POSSIBLE. POSSIBLE. Yeah but it's definitely going to be repealed. Right? I mean we just need to do a study to see how it's going to work I mean it's not like we have ever had gays in the military, it's not like we know what is going to happen, it's not like gays are just people, they have TEH GAY! We have to make sure people who have TEH GAY fit in with the normal people...

This is disgusting, and what's worse is the pathetic defense of treating our GLBT brothers and sisters like they are not "normal". No fucking "study" is needed, this is all political bullshit and I wonder how many people on this board would be defending this if it were say.. a religious group or a nationality that were being discriminated against.

Maybe we need a study to see how the Jews are going to fit in with the Christian soldiers. Or one on how black and white soldiers will work together. Or men and women. Gimme a fucking break with this bullshit. It's high time people stopped treating Gays like they have a fucking disease.
