- Well it is such a big deal if they can't even recognize that even just
- our basic human and Constituitional rights are being trampled on and
- need protecting. The mentality is, of course, that since we
- supposedly do something different in the bedroom (we all know that we
- don't do anything different... other than maybe a different sex
- partner than a het) we forfit all of our human and constitutional
- rights...NOT!
-
- I heard on the Today show that "conduct" will play an important role
- in the exec order that Clinton WILL put into place ASAP. I am hoping
- that it Immediately stops the millions spent in the witch-hunts, and
- starts the process to fully accept and recognize gays and lesbians in
- the military. I think that the word "conduct" will come in to play to
- remove any doubt that this order DOES NOT excuse any act which is
- currently covered in the UCMJ, especially sexual misconduct while on
- duty and while on base (something the hets need to remember!).
