Well, DUH!!!

Back in 1996 the Pentagon put homosexuality on a list of mental disorders. Ten years later, homosexuality has been removed from that list. Homosexuality was on the list alongside other conditions such as mental retardation and personality disorders. The list, which was updated as current only three years ago, will no longer include homosexuality as the Pentagon now says, "it should not have been characterized as a mental disorder in an appendix of a procedural instruction." Even the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of disorders back in 1973. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, this won't change the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

I think the military would be in worse shape than it is now if all of the gays and lesbians were to just stop serving. Sometimes, I imagine what that would be like; take that you bigots.

peace,

paul
