Republicans block bill to lift military gay ban

Once again, the Republicans prove that they don't give a flying fuck about what's best for the country or about the rights of individuals.

I'm getting really sick and tired of living in a theocracy, :(.

Whether you think that being gay is morally okay or not (though for the record, if you think that it's not, I think you're an asshat), there is overwhelming support for DADT being repealed - 80% of Americans are in favor of it.  There is also a TON of evidence proving that it causes no harm to the military and that having this policy in effect makes other countries who allow gays to serve openly not want to serve with our soldiers.

Not to mention that a lack of Arabic translators contributed directly to 9/11.  Guess what the specialty was of many of those discharged under DADT?

It's a shitty policy that hurts our country and destroys lives, so of course Republicans are in favor of it.
