Soldiers Love Gay People
When military leaders, or politicians, or anybody, really, says that they don't want the courts to rule by fiat, what they mean is that they want another group in the government to make a decision.

What You Probably Should Know
I've told everyone and that may have gotten annoying, but I finished my first novelette. At current revision, it's around 10100 words and I love it. It is sad and it is vague and it runs past me as I read it ( Read more... ) -
