text: why should gays and lesbians get out of military service??  why shouldn't they suffer thru marriage? i just attended a wedding ceremony that cost easily $10,000, and the couple wasn't that well off.  see, normal couples aren't "done" until they are married, and that pumps a whole lot of money into the economy.  gays just shack up, since they can't get married, and they're done. nothing more expensive than a trip thru target (they call it "tarjay")  and they don't have to put kids thru college.  why are they getting off light?  in israel, everyone must serve in the military.  must!  in service to their country.  how about here in america?  gays don't get sent overseas and shot at.  how is that fair? gay or str8...i'd be damned if i'd "suffer" through marrage.  2nd, while you're putting your kids through collage and all that bull shit (don't want to pay for collage? don't have kids!)  us fags are keeping this economy rolling but spending our 200 billion dollar expendible income on expencive, pretty things.  as far as serving in the armed forces...not my decision
