The Little Things

Gay soldiers in US military can serve openly now. Federal judges are no longer persuaded that moral condemnation of homosexuality justifies governmental discrimination. Though now it is a victory worth celebrating, to me the idea that the gay man has to fight his way to fight for his country is rather appalling. This victory is a modern fruition that ripened late but nevertheless should see the eventual cultural shift to embrace wholeheartedly the 'autonomy of self that includes freedom of thought, belief, expression and certain intimate conduct'.
