He was being facetious... lol... Technically, because a Democratic Congress passed DADT and the GOP voted mostly in favor of upholding it, it's technically bipartisan.Varegg wrote:

Although, some Democrats voted against this bill too, so I guess that's more literal in bipartisanship.

*edit:
I do think at this point don't ask don't tell is probably the best approach for a myriad of reasons that range from G@lts logistical concerns to personal beliefs.

It is misleading when looking at the history of how DADT was passed, but at the same time, the Democratic stance on this issue has changed since the early 90s.11 Bravo wrote:

Granted, I would argue what's more relevant is that the DREAM act is why it didn't pass. That's something that needs to get more attention in the debate. If it hadn't been in the bill, then I think this would've passed with even some Republicans voting in favor of it.
I agree there is where they failed, not sure if the Reps would vote differently though.Turquoise wrote:

Either way the gay community has another right denied, oh well they're used to it

Clearly, the issue isn't so much the act of telling people you're gay. It's the prejudice displayed afterwards.
If you truly believe in equal rights for all, then you should be against institutionalized prejudice.
I had a coworker who used to talk about her sex life to the other women here. It was not welcomed and she got canned for that and a few other uncouth habits.Hunter/Jumper wrote:

I wish I could find that article again, but I recall reading that sexual harrassment is in the rise and not from men on women interactions. There are on the rise on man-man, woman on men, and women on women as noted above.
On the "on men" cases its difficult for men to come forward because of the ridicule from others for being `weak`.
Here's an example of man being teased over a small penis at TSA.

I think that might be more of a statement against using those scanners than of anything to do with sexuality in the workplace.Harmor wrote:
