Will gays destroy our military forces?

Probably not!

However, Senate Republicans are working overtime to make sure they don’t.

Today, they blocked an effort by Democrats and the White House to lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military. A unanimous vote against forwarding the major defense policy bill.

Earlier this month a federal judge in Los Angeles declared the ban an unconstitutional violation of the due process and free speech rights of gays and lesbians. The decision was the third federal court ruling since July to assert that statutory limits on the rights of gays and lesbians were unconstitutional.

According to AP, recent polls suggest that a majority of Americans think the ban on gays in the military should be overturned. An estimated 13,000 people have been discharged under the law since its inception in 1993. A majority of these dismissals were caused by gay service members outing themselves but, gay rights’ groups believe it has been used by vindictive co-workers to drum out troops who never made their sexuality an issue.

So what really is the issue with sexual preference and choosing to serve our nation? I don’t see one *shrugs*

What’s up lovers?

How’s your new year been? What new things have you accomplished? What things are you still trying to accomplished? Being a woman in this high-tech fast paced world is pretty complicated. Trying to balance a career, family, friends, and dating/relationships can be a challenging thing.

That is why I created this blog. Originally, I made it as journal to mirror my mind. However, the more I write and share with you guys the more I realize that this blog is much more than that. This blog is an escape from everyday stressors, it tackles issues and puts them into perspective.

This year I will make more of an effort to share things about me and indulge you into heated debates about current events. Last year, was just the toe testing the water; this year plan to get wet! Holla! :-)
