The Palm Center Report “Gays in Foreign Militaries 2010: A Global Primer” was released today. The report refutes the negative positions being touted by General Casey, Senator McCain and others based on their prejudices towards openly gays and lesbians serving in the United States Military. Don’t Ask Don’t Tell deserves to be banished to the trash bin of useless legislation and troglodytes that don’t see it that way need to get out of their caves and read the facts on the lack of any negative consequences that military forces around the world have had with open service by gays and lesbians.
