Friday Blingee: Ask & Tell

For our DADT sisters and brothers

Friday Blingee: Ask & Tell

Now that the Don't Ask Don't Tell order is in the process of being repealed (riot shields crossed) our military needs to do that thing you do when you've made a mistake… what is it called? Oh yah, apologize and make reparations.

How about making all LGBTQ persons discharged under DADT four-star generals? Too much? Hardly. Thanks for ruining their lives, now the least you can do is make it.

Either way, we're sure reparations will be a long time coming, and so we here at the GP offer a gift to those kicked out of the armed forces for loving vag and pole more than they love lying to everyone around them. The gift of Blingee! We wish you disco balls and stars, and most of all we wish you peace, civil service, and an end to all armed conflict. Nothing to show the farce of war than exposing the sexist, imperialist and homophobic grounds which conflicts such as the one we're engaged in are founded on! No guns blazing in this Blingee!
