The "Dont ask, Dont tell" policy, and Army Wives.

As we know the " Don't ask, Don't tell" policy in play now, I DONT Want any nasty, rude comments when I write this, this is MY OPINION. When gays and lesbians come to mind I don't think much of it. I have family members who like the same sex. I grew up around them and there is nothing wrong with it nor them. I know it bacame a big issue in the Military and lots of comments were made, but I have to give it to them if they are brave enough to fight and die for our freedom who cares. They are your battle buddies they could end up saving your life. so instead of not agreeing with what they do in thie home life , look at them as a person! I love my gay/lesbian friends they are people just like you and I. And then we have tohose who don't agree with it at all cool okay we go it but no reason to sit and bash them if they are not doing anything to you! Its part of everyday life your next dorr neigbor son or daughter could be gay/lesbian, how would you feel then? LOVE is LOVE you can't help who they love and how they are ,accept it and move on nothing more nothing less. if you tuned in to ARMY WIVES this last Sunday then Im sure you saw the woman couple kiss, and one of the partners propsed. I was in shock but happy for them bravo bravo bravo, its bringing real life expierences in to this show which there shoudl be if they want to make a show about the Military. As I logged on to FB and I went to the Army Wives official page I could not believe my eyes at some of the things that were being said. Now, I had my fair share of commenting and stating my opinion. Just a bit about what was being said is... "Im sorry Lifetime you suck I will n longer be watching Army Wives because of the gay couple you have shoved down our throats'", "This show was awesome until you had those lesbians kiss and now a wedding shaemful on your part Lifteime", and it went on and went on and got out of hand. Now another thing I got in to with someone was and I quote she said " I will not be thanking any service members because they are not in danger and not deployed, only first responders need thanks, they were the ones there when the twin towers were hit not our Military!" I wanted honestly to punch something so bad my blood was boiling about this! I replied back " Shame on you and your ignorant filled comment and if you were to inform and educate yourself we were there when the towers were hit and FYI alot of first responders were prior service or still are active duty/reserves....." Maybe i was a bit harsh with some of the other things I said but being around the Military for 20 years and now starting my life with my fiance in the Marines I think I know a thing or two! This is also goes back to my post about bullying, gays/lesbians are bullied to about who they are. They cant help who they are. Its gotten to the point where some gay/lesbians commit suicide becuase of the pressure from society to be straight or being made fun of.... NOT OKAY...... AT ALL.... I can go on and on and on but I will stop here or it will never end. With all that being said Welcome to May everyone its the month of Military Spouse Apprecition!

Always, ME
