Worth visiting!
I was with a group protesting D.A.D.T. It was funny because we were protesting to allow gays in the military and a white woman and a black man arrested me, and it wasn’t long ago that they weren’t allowed in the military either!

I admire your courage to speak out your conviction. Nevertheless, the decision to allow gay into the Army is not made at West Point. It’ll be made at the White House by the President. Did you know that the military banned racial discrimination in 1941 and allowed the first African Americans to receive flight instruction at Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama? That was 27 years before Dr. King’s movement. I respect your conviction and courage to voice your belief. I just don’t think that the military is to blame for every problems of society.
