TreasureKY -> RE: GAY SOLDIERS: Fighting for the right of Republicans to boo them for 236 years! (9/24/2011 7:38:48 PM)

Oh, for Pete's sake... there's two, maybe three people "booing". [8|] Booing at the Republican Debate To be honest, I didn't like the booing. Any of the booing. I think it is immature. I will say that I got the impression that the "boos" were for the question itself and not for the soldier. If you'll note, the "boos" came after he asked his question... not when he announced that he was gay. Put your big girl panties on and accept that some people don't like the idea of homosexuality, and some don't like the idea of openly homosexual soldiers. You may not agree with those "booing"... I may not agree with them... and the majority of the entire population may not agree with them. Nonetheless, they do have the right to their own opinion and the right to express it... however distasteful we find it. You can hold your breath until you're blue in the face, but the Republican leadership isn't going to trample on anyone's right to express their opinion... so long as they are doing so within the boundaries of the law. As far as I'm aware, "booing" is still legal. Get over it.
