I just signed the online petition at http://AmericansForTheMilitary.com and as a friend that supports our troops, I wanted to share it with you.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton tried to impose the gay agenda on our military men and women.
Americans insisted that Congress protect our military from this attack. Forcing a sexual agenda on the military hurts discipline and morale. It's as simple as that.
Congress passed a law confirming that homosexuals are not eligible to serve in the military.
But now the gay activists are back. This time they are using the internet to organize and push hard for repeal of the law. We cannot allow them to win.
Please join me in signing up at http://AmericansForTheMilitary.com and forward this email to anyone that you know who supports our troops.
Thank you.

I kept it as nice and succinct as possible, rather than launching into a counterattack, and I hope and expect that at least a few of the others who received the message will agree with me. At the same time, I'm halfway expecting this to cause strife between us. During my time as a Christian, I didn't think for myself because I didn't know how to do anything other than regurgitate the same religious and political opinions as my parents and Christian friends. I'm not going to allow them to believe that I still hold those bigoted ideals. I might not change anyone's mind, and I accept that likelihood, but on the other hand, I just might help someone to view the situation in a different way, rather than just going along with whatever the rest of the group thinks. Either way, I feel better having made it very clear that I don't stand for bigotry any longer.
So anyway, I was hoping to hear from the guild on similar situations you all have been in where you finally decided that enough was enough and you needed to take a bit of a stand for something in which you believe. What was the issue? How did you feel afterwards? And the fun part... were there consequences? pirate
