So in honor of memorial day, which was yesterday, I figured now would be a great time to talk about Don't Ask Don't Tell. Don't Ask Don't Tell was Clinton's resolution to the ban on gay's joining the military. It roughly states that anyone regardless of there sexual preference is allowed in the military as long as they don't tell anyone what there sexual preference is. While it was a step forward at the time, many feel that it was still discriminatory against homosexuals. The reason this is coming up in the news now is because a senate committee and the House of representatives have now voted to repeal the dadt bill. While this is a great step forward there are still a few more steps that must be taken before the bill is removed, so it's not in the clear yet. We will see what happens but until then what do you think about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?

So the winner for next gay friendly country goes to Portugal. Congratulations to Teresa Pires and Helena Paixao who are the first same sex married couple in Portugal. With more and more places are accepting gay marriage, when do you the the entire U.S. will get with the program?
So yet another Catholic school, this time in Boston, has denied the rights of a kid who happens to have gay parents from going to there school. The school defends it's decision by saying "If a child of gay parents comes to our school, and we teach that gay marriage is against the will of God, then the child will think that we are saying their parents are bad. We don't want to put any child in that tough position". Which in all honesty is a very valid point. But should it be enough to deny schooling to a the child of gay parents? What do you think?
