Rumsfeld: "Time Has Come" To Allow Gays To Serve Openly
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/02/rumsfeld-time-has-come-to-allow-gays-to-serve-openly.html


Skipping to the goo part:


“First of all, we know that gays and lesbians have been serving in the military for decades with honorable service,” Rumsfeld said. “We know that is an idea whose time has come.”

Rumsfeld says he has “enormous respect” for the ground commanders and service chiefs who have expressed concerns about the impact of gays serving openly on unit cohesion, and he urged the top brass to implement the new law “with care.”

But Rumsfeld says that congress, which passed the repeal bill in the waning days of the last session, has expressed the will of the American people.

2. Wow it's morphed from a "controversial, divisive" social issue
into a broadly welcomed idea whose time has come.

All in six months time.

You gotta love the media.
