A round of applause, everyone! For the first time since the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the US Army has promoted an openly gay soldier to the rank of General. Tammy S. Smith was promoted from Colonel to Brigadier General last Friday in a ceremony in Washington D.C.; her wife, Tracey Hepner, affixed Smith's General's star to her uniform. Following Congress's repeal of DADT in December 2010, Smith and Hepner married in March 2011, although the formal end of DADT by the Pentagon wasn't implemented until September of that year. Despite predictions by the Christian right, the promotion failed to cause Planet Earth to spin out of orbit into the sun.
Last year my wife attended the commissioning ceremony for a lesbian friend who became a Marine officer. Her partner also attended, and a couple of the speakers made some deliberately inclusive and welcoming remarks.
I'm still waiting for America to go to hell over stuff like this. I'm getting the impression this God dude really doesn't give a crap.
"Man-broads"? Really? That's all you can come up with? Oh, honey... Also, I'll bet they're more attractive men than you've ever been, and more broad than you'll ever hope to get!
Propinquity's a bitch.
Killer Q for the debates: "Would you force her to resign?"

Sometimes it amazes me whom I end up respecting.

Yes, but...Only for research!*

But don't the Freepers think that all female soldiers are lesbians, anyway?
Wonkette still feels so strange after Ken's last Year of Living Suicidally.
John McCain is not pleased. Cindy McCain is even less pleased because John just dropped a pant load into his Depends.

Like Cindy would even notice. She's in San Diego, banging some Marine drill sergeant fresh off the beach.
