One Step Behind

While the Greatest Nation on Earth....trumpets sound.....waits and waits for the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, others move forward. While we listened to a presidential candidate tell us that it was a priority to end discrimination based on sexual orientation in the military, others move ahead. When given the news that much needed Arab linguists are being fired from military service, other nations welcome all people into their armed services.

We still discharge gay and lesbian service people, but Uruguay is moving to lift a ban on homosexuals joining the armed forces.

Uruguay. More progressive than the United States.

    Second country in the American continents to legalize same sex unions as well I believe. All in all, Uruguay is an extremely progressive country.
