The Pentagon on Monday extended some benefits to same-sex partners of military service members. At Fort Hood in Central Texas, the decision appeared to have stirred little controversy.

I guess we now have a gay military man this is enough to make one sick. Think about it gays giving blood in the field wow aids and know telling what. Think about coming in on them in the sick acts in the shower. I would say military is now going to the dogs. I know mine will never serve while gays are allowed so good luck military service once proud and brave now just gay.

Gypsy, your posts have always been a litany of hate and divisive rhetoric. Your bigotry and racism will define your party for a generation, so please, keep spewing your hate and rhetoric. Your and (other tea party nut jobs) will define the republican party for a generation.
Your ignorance regarding HIV and AIDs demonstrate how poorly educated and uninformed you truly are and will undoubtedly remain. The only sick act is your hatred, bigotry, and calls for discrimination. You are an embarrassment to all things descent.
For the record, just one Gay man serving in the military is worth the whole lot of you and your ilk. And despite your lies, and misinformation, we have seen the inclusion of Gays and Lesbians into our military has not damaged our preparedness at all, nor has it caused the wave of disruption your kind promise.
So, for those on the fence, please read all of gypsy's comments. She defines todays Texas Republican party. See you at the polls.
