Really, it is. I can't see why anyone, gay or straight, would want to elist under current circumstances but that

I had this shared with me a few months back, I've sent it on to a few people, so I feel it's only right to throw it in your direction too because it's quite fabulous.

I do agree the uncritical celebration on this policy being killed off is dangerous business. It's a nice gesture, but let's not crack open too many bottles before thinking about what exactly is being celebrated here.

Makes my skin crawl a bit, but then rhetoric of war, the glorification of it and the military tends to do that to me.

I understand the conflict, the US is incredibly militaristic and militarism, especially of corporatist imperialism makes uncomfortable viewing. On this one, I choose to celebrate the principle: That anything a straight person can do, a gay person should have an equal freedom to do.

Cool vid.
