WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is praising senators as they near passage of legislation that would overturn the military ban on openly gay troops.
Obama says that policy undermines U.S. national security and violates “the very ideals” that members of the armed services risk their lives to defend.
A final Senate vote is set for 3 p.m. Saturday after a test vote in the morning set the stage to send the measure to Obama to sign.
The president says ending the ban will mean that “thousands of patriotic Americans” won’t be forced to leave the military “despite years of exemplary performance, because they happen to be gay.”
He also says many thousands more won’t be “asked to live a lie in order to serve the country they love.”

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 2:10pmFor Obama, it’s about damaging the US military in any possible way. For if it wasn’t, he would be in support of gay marriage. Seriously, if you say he’s a Christian or even a Muslim, then how can he be in favor of either? Look at what has happened to society since they have come out of the proverbial closet. Now consider what will become of the military. If you claim to be gay will that keep you from combat and if you claim to be lesbian you can go into combat? If you’re bisexual do you get to choose whether to fight or not? What about those that go surgically half-and-half and so on? Please let 2012 be something more significant than the year 2000.

In the military their are ways to combat idiotic laws such as this. Ever heard of “blanket parties” or the “ in the wall locker and out the window” methods. I‘m sure Obama wouldn’t know much having never served. The military should be the only ones making a desission like this, not dumocrats & rinos.

Truth is that there is now or ever was a ban on Gays serving in the military. If your willing to serve quietly and not make a spectacle of your sexuality then you could and can serve admirably. There is code in the UCMJ to deal with discipline and order in the Military and until you remove or change that code which will have to happen before you can serve openly as a gay member of the military, but why would you want that spot light on you, it might even single you out and make you like a leper in some divisions with in the military. The UCMJ will now have to deal with an openly Homosexual Officer and the issue of coercion in liaisons between Enlisted and Officers that will not change.

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 5:57pmI‘m really at a loss for what you think Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is other than a ban on gays in the military. 10 USC § 654 b(2) provides (or rather provided!) that a military service member shall be discharged if “the member has stated that he or she is a homosexual or a bisexual.” The mere fact that you say you are a homosexual would get you kicked out of the military. Are you really trying to tell me that this is NOT a ban on gays in the military? What you are arguing is that people can circumvent this particular ban by laying low. However, that does not change the fact that the ban exists.

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 2:02pmSome how I doubt this will change anything. Terrorists that hate us will just have one more reason to and will continue to hate us. Like we can do anything to change that short of bowing to their whim’s and dying. Gay’s will serve openly and I am willing to bet 99% of the military could care less. Just cause their open doesn’t change what type of soldiers they are. I‘ve read studies that state gay’s only make up 1% of the US population I could be wrong but with that small of a number I would think there isn’t a whole lot of gays in the military either. So those that are gay will be open about it and everything moves on.

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 2:02pmObama Relishes …. Gays. I am reading stories from several sources that place young Obama in bath houses and with gay lovers. The objects of these liaisons are all dead. What is his motive in supporting gay causes? It cannot be to win votes. He would lose more anti-gay votes than he would gain gay votes. There is something deeper here. Is he trying to pave the way for a gay President? Or has this already happened?

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 2:01pmIf this repeal is allowed, then there should be an immediate choice allowing all current service men and women to opt out of their contract because the military has been fundamentally changed and they should not be subjected to this if they object on moral grounds. They should be allowed to walk out with an honorable discharge the instant this is passed, and it shouldn’t matter if they are serving in a war zone. Immediate discharge is the only fair way. If the government doesn’t think this will be a problem then they would have no concern allowing immediate discharge on moral grounds.

They had a right to serve but they were not allowed to expose their sexual preferences for a reason, because their choice of lifestyle is immoral, appalling, and irreprehensible however, now they have been authorized to break the moral foundations of the military and flaunt their new found freedom to openly commit sodomy and sin..

Posted on December 19, 2010 at 10:45amRegan/Demint- Under DADT it is still illegal to be a homosexual in the military. The premise is enlist and break the law, just don’t tell the government you are breaking the law. They try to serve their country, but their enlistment is based on a lie, and their entire term is under the threat of dismissal.
Jim: Thanks for the definition, that is my point. The core values of the AF are “Integrity, Service before Self, and Excellence in all We Do. You can’t have integrity when your enlistment is based on a lie. I know you were trying to use the definition against me, but you fell a little short in your description of how.

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 3:25pmI understand the argument from all perspectives. These brave men and women died for our country, our liberties and freedoms. Homosexuals are included in the mix here and some of these individuals may have been that like it or not. Let’s not diminish their efforts in the face of this argument. We honor them all regardless of who they were.
The problem is that we need to acknowledge that there are gay people already serving and we have not come up with a process that allows them to serve and not be penalized for what they are. I am against the repeal of DADT and frankly, I don’t know what the answer is. I do feel these congressmen in support of the repeal and obama do not have the best interest of the nation in mind are are using this DADT as a vehicle to further deteriorate the state of our nation.

you may believe this repeal changes the code, but unless that is specifically stated in the repeal language it will not
and as i have read the code, and the repeal, and have further investigated it with a military adjunct , this repeal only removes the dadt clause, which believe it or not , was never included into the military code, and was an addendum , not an amendment. which means it will be removed without affecting any other part in the code

The only thing that don‘t ask don’t tell means is that they can’t go bragging or advertising the fact. What’s the big deal about that policy? So why is there a big push (no pun intended) to get this through? Because it can now be in a soldiers face and they have to deal with it. I worked with a flamboyant gay guy and it was disgusting. Telling me about having sex with his gay brother (which I told him to knock it off) and always looking at my crotch which I also would tell him to stop. Now there is a whole other level of legal wrangling in the way of lawsuits in saying “I was treated unfairly because I wear lipstick” or whatever and there will be nothing to counter it even if it’s not true. It’s like gays being married. What will happen when a minister will not marry a gay couple? I‘m sure no matter what your intelligence you know it’ll be a lawsuit. This is ridiculous.

Obama appoints record number of gay officials
By Jennifer Vanasco/editor
10.26.2010 6:00pm EDT
(Washington) Less than halfway through his first term, President Barack Obama has appointed more openly gay officials than any other president in history.
Send / Share
Add Comment
Gay activists say the estimate of more than 150 appointments so far – from agency heads and commission members to policy officials and senior staffers – surpasses the previous high of about 140 reached during two full terms under President Bill Clinton.
“From everything we hear from inside the administration, they wanted this to be part of their efforts at diversity,” said Denis Dison, spokesman for the Presidential Appointments Project of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute.
The pace of appointments has helped to ease broader disappointment among gay rights groups that Obama has not acted more quickly on other fronts, such as ending the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that bans gays from serving openly in the military.

Posted on December 18, 2010 at 10:12pmPsychosis:
Following the US Census Bureau Report of 2000, 1.5% of Americans label themselves gay. Those people are OPENLY gay. The Family Research report say that about 2-3% of males and about 2% of women are gay or bisexual. Other sources (Like the NGLTF) name numbers as high as 10%, but considering the background of that organization this number is probably rather high. The real number is probably between 3 and 6 %, depending on how you define gay (i.e does having a single homosexual experience make you gay?).
The number you state (less than 1%) is the percentage of homosexual couples.
