1. We kicked out of the military
Arabic translators because they were Gay. We're being told that keeping America safe was so important but not as important as keeping Gays out of the military. Meanwhile there aren't enough translators to keep up with the intel that's coming in.

I don't think you can have it both ways - America needs to be defended and protected by those who are willing to defend it, not just by those who the prejudiced and bigotted deem worthy of serving.

If a Gay person is willing to lay down their life for this country, why is that not enough?
