Israel allows gays and lesbians to serve openly in their armed forces.
Last time I checked, they didn't seem to have a problem with "unit cohesion" or whatever bullshit term the bigots, like Peter Pace, uses to justify discrimination against gay and lesbian Americans who want to serve their country openly.

So, if Israel can do it, what's the fucking deal here?

5. Most of America is regressive not progressive.
Americans love to pat themselves on the back about "Freedom" and "Liberty" while trying to kill both of those concepts.

4. It's time for the gay community to turn their back on this system.
Considering there are roughly 65,000 gay individuals in the military, they need to get up and walk out. Hell, stop paying taxes on top of that. Why support a system that is going to treat you like garbage.
