Thank god for that. One step closer to America being an actually intelligent country.

Also...

[i]“I hope that when we pass this legislation that we will understand that we are doing great damage,” Mr. McCain said. “And we could possibly and probably, as the commandant of the Marine Corps said, and as I have been told by literally thousands of members of the military, harm the battle effectiveness vital to the survival of our young men and women in the military.” [/i]

EYE ELL OH ELLD

McCain was the most ridiculous person in this whole fiasco. "I trust what the military says"... apparently only when it serves you, given you completely ignored and disregarded the actual military internal studies on the issue.

Allowing people to serve in the military regardless of their sexuality is a normal thing. This should be seen as America doing something that is common practice rather than something worthy of the celebration of all things Liberal.

Finally. f***. It took for ever for America to be cool with gays.

Ugh, I agree. Most things we see as "liberal" in America are just conforming with international standards.

Funny how McCain called it a "sad day for America" or something.

Idiot.

Bush was more of an idiot than Mccain. We voted for a dumbass. We voted for a painted black white man. Now we can vote for Sarah Palin and watch the world end. As for how gay rights issues are going. Civil marriages are close to being passed in Illinois according to what i've heard. California is the same.

My country finally earned more of my respect.

Sadly, this is only the beginning.

Soon it'll take years before gays and lesbians can finally be accepted as "normal" and then we start hating on someone else.

Let's see.

What will he start hating on to replace gays and lesbians.

It's a normal thing to the rest of the world. In domestic terms, and domestic politics, this is a huge milestone... kind of.
