That is the comparison being made...not that the two cases are identical in every respect, which, of course, you know.

Muslim. You feel better? Of course, according to dictionary.com, "Moslem" is a variant... but why quibble?

Care to offer an answer to the 14th Amendment question I raised?

By the way, 14,000 members of the Armed Services have been dismissed from service for violating the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy... often "outed" by someone seeing an email, overhearing a phone call, stuff like that. If you are gay, and make it known, or it's found out, you can't be in the military... and that's not discrimination? Come on, Vundy.

Just wondering.

I actually looked up the 14th Amendment, and read it word for word. I see how it can be interpreted as gay marriage being "protected", BUT, I'm not an expert when it comes to the Constitution, so I'm not going to jump in any further.

The fact is, I'm not for or against gay marriage. I really don't care. When it comes to DADT, I really don't care either. I will tell you this though, even if DADT is repealed, and gays are aloud in the military, I guarantee MOST of them will keep it to themselves. There's plenty of them in, I even know a few of them myself, but they just won't go about letting everyone know. That's just how it is. Repealing DADT isn't just an equal rights issue, it affects everything. Housing, benefits, morale, all that. I can tell you this, the main reason the top military brass don't want DADT repealed is because they think it will affect morale. It may or may not, we'll see.

It won't bother me...unless gay troops think they're "owed" something or think they deserve more than the rest of the force.
