Wait a second, I thought gay marriage was already legal in the U.K., or is it still this "civil partnership" bullshit?

[LatumWay]

@MrFivefivefivesix the latter.

[RPFS2008]

I'm all for equality, so don't take this as support for these kinds of bans, but would you feel it was bigoted if the military refused to allow TG people to serve on the ground in the Middle East?

[LatumWay]

@RPFS2008 What's your point?

[SpectacularNumanist]

‎As a military man, I'm shocked and disgusted that President Obama has lifted the ban on gays in the army.

How am I going to feel comfortable blowing up villages full of women and children when I know there could be faggots around?

[LatumWay]

@SpectacularNumanist EXACTLY

[ReXtion88]

I don't have a lot to say about this video except that you, LatumWay, are absolutely 100% bang on the money here.

[MrFivefivefivesix]

@LatumWay Oh well, on the bright side, it's still a step ahead of America. I wish I could find a better silver lining than that because I thought we'd already gotten past that stage. It's kind of depressing when you think about it.

i like your take on Homo's, and i like Boobies.

Many transgender have a hormone therapy that is ongoing, the military may be exploiting a loophole. People who have to take daily medication, cannot serve because they are a liability in combat if someone gets stranded on a mission, or they have to be holed up fighting for long periods of time where they cannot get their medication.

[Darthmas2242]

But...Latum...I don't care if I can't marry my gf in a church o.o I'd prefer to keep religion further out of my life than it is.

[Darthmas2242]

@cjrpoc I know...it's fucking irriatating. I've studied transsexuals and conversed with a lot of them. The good thing is psychologists know EXACTLY what transsexualism is :P Which means that the people in the know aren't backwards in this field. I agree with you though...transsexuals have a long way to go. But people like me will be there with them aaaaall the way ^3^

[cjrpoc]

Transgendered people have a long fight ahead - even the most "open-minded", liberal people I know think transgenders are mentally ill or "backwards" or "just gay and fooling themselves."
