comments on obama’s upcoming firing of dan choi, arabic military linguist, for being gay
- Homophobia to continue trumping national security. (lgm)
- Every application of this policy is a national disgrace. (lgm)
- Absurd as firing soldiers for being gay was under George W. Bush, it’s double-absurd for it to be happening under a president who’s acknowledged that it’s an unjust policy. (yglesias)
- The fact of the matter is that on any given week, it’ll be more convenient to deal with this issue next week. But that just means you never get around to dealing with it. (yglesias)
- How can the President ignore the fact that his policy (and it’s his decision not to press Congress to do anything) is hurting our military readiness? (pams)
- I serve with 65,000 selfless gay and lesbian Americans; we are ordered to deny who we are. We’re ordered to HIDE. But I am not hiding anymore. I am not asking permission anymore. I am done ASKING. I am TELLING. I am gay. (dan choi himself)
