[CE] Equal

"Our nation will finally close the door on a fundamental unfairness for gays and lesbians, and indeed affirm equality for all Americans,'' the California Democrat said.

This quote comes from this article.

     I feel that letting gays and lesbians join the US Army is the right choice because what difference does it make if A straight Person and a Gay person joins the army? They all want to fight for our country so why does it matter if your gay, lesbian, bi, straight or whatever. Everybody is equal. I'm happy that all types of people get to fight for America now and it will definitely make a big impact on our nation because we will get other strong guys and ladies.
     But there's always a wrong in almost everything and I can find a couple of wrongs on letting gays join the army. 1 thing is, they might be all over the dude or girl when they're changing or something. Another thing that's probably going to be a problem is that there's going to be homophobic people and that could make the person who's gay feel bad. Last thing is if there's people who's already getting teased by there own fellow mates, you don't know what they say to the lesbians or gays. I guess the making fun part won't be a problem because most of them have been teased all there life and already used to it. Honestly all I could say is I'm happy that America has matured and let everybody join the army no matter what sex orientation you have because we're one nation and all the army, marines, navy and the air force are here to protect us with every recruit we can get.
