I thought DU was pro gay rights??? (Genuinely hurt)

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You know you can be all pro LGBT rights

and dislike Putin highly for his internal policies regarding LGBT russians. I will remind you the US was not that far behind that oh a generation ago, and that some of that you owe to our far RIGHT AMERICAN WING. All this is truly coming from a retreat with some of our own pastors.

And at the same time realize that he did make a few good points in that essay (carrot), while at the same time deploying the Moskva to the Med (stick)

Some of us are beyond binary thought. And while you give two shits about Syria, there are some of us who care about the grand chess game, which this is one more chapter. It goes back further back than the US or Russia as nations, and Russia I include going back to Alexander the Great. It indeed goes back to the bronze age. And it's always been about the Spice.

I posted this as an OP earlier that might be of interest to you though


Breaking News Alert from OutServe-SLDN


Dear Nadin,

There was a ruling today in the OS-SLDN case challenging DoD and VA on recognition of LGBT military and veteran families by DoD and the VA.
Judge Richard Stearns ruled today that OS-SLDN and Chadbourne & Parke clients, led by Maj. Shannon McLaughlin and her wife Casey, are entitled to judgment in their favor. This decision in McLaughlin v. Hagel confirms that Servicemembers, Veterans, and their family members are entitled to equal protection with respect to administration of benefits by both the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Our clients in the case:

Major Shannon McLaughlin, ARNG and Casey McLaughlin
Major Steve Snyder-Hill, USAR and Joshua Snyder-Hill
Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2) Charlie Morgan, ARNG and Karen Morgan
Lieutenant Gary Ross, USN and Dan Ross
Lieutenant Colonel Vicki Hudson, USAR and Monika Poxon
Airman First Class (A1C) Daniel Henderson, USAF and Jerret Henderson
Captain Joan Darrah, USN (Retired) and Lynne Kennedy
Colonel Stewart Bornhoft, USA (Retired) and former Lieutenant Stephen McNabb, USN

We urge Secretary Shinseki to immediately provide access to all VA benefits to eligible LGBT Servicemembers, Veterans, and their dependents.

Congratulations to our clients and many thanks to an incredible legal team!

Also a huge thank you to all of our supporters for making this work possible. Without your generous donations this would not have happened.

Sincerely,



John P. Gillespie, Lt Col, USAFR, DC Jeffrey A. Mueller, Maj, USAF
