- ... banning gays because of group characteristics is like banning
- blacks because of a high crime rate ....

- I never said criminality is racially determined, but for whatever
- reasons, crime rates do vary, and obviously a high crime rate for one
- race does not disqualify individuals from military service. I'm
- unsure about this one if for no other reason that the country is so
- split, and the folks in charge are so overwhelmingly against it. I'd
- keep on working on it until they're comfortable with the idea on
- how it would work, since that's what happened with integration of
- minorities as well.
