US Senate lifts 'don't ask don't tell' gay soldier ban.
 

:hugesmile:

Probably a matter of time before it gets reconstituted though.

GaGa was pleased :love:

And we can all thank The Real World for this.
If it hadn't been for Danny (The Real World: New Orleans 1) and his military boyfriend who had to cower in the shadows every time he visited the house, America would still be blind.

Yea, a show which aired 10 years ago had this much of an effect on the American general public

Yes and in the DC season Mike spoke to Obama about it.

child please. stfu

Danny did end up cheating on him towards the end of the season, but whats a blowjob during mardi gras.

oh and fyi. from wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Roberts

Well this is a positive move forward i think, i don't see any harm in it?

Yea, it's a good thing for the US :joker:

If you go to wiki you will see the statement is externally sourced, so you have no point there.

from a gay Hollywood blog, hmm yea I see your point

good

seems a weird thing to make any laws at all about , theres always been homosexual activity in the armed forces (i have some personal experience around this) ....it's probably best to be discreet about it as most people would be in civilian life. It's not really the place to have a gay parade is it? i think the law telling people not to be open is just provocative BS , just let the men find their own social balance and hierarchy amongst themselves and don't get rib of people cos their gay and don't allow bullying...and get on with the job at hand...

N'awww

:love:

That makes sense considering at the 2009 VMAs Red Carpet Pre Show she spoke about watch MTV in her youth and how she loved The Real World.

cool story bro

Here you like wiki, educate yourself, the world does not revolve around your beloved program regardless of how much you think it does.

Over 100 million people saw that season, of course it had an affect.

Some interesting statistics about the popularity of baby names the year before and after a housemate with that name appeared on the show.

Amaya
1999 – 703 Children
2000 – 1639 Children

Kaia
1999 - 146 Children
2000 – 242 Children

Coral
2000 – less than 5 Children
2001 – 174 Children

Baya
2008 – 5 Children
2009 – 54 Children

This proves what an affect The Real World had and has on America.

Real World needs to become a banned phrase on this site.

It's a good victory for America, the arguments against it before were ridiculous. Gay people 'Lower Morale?' Well send the homophobes home instead. The fact that such laws exist in America in these modern times are ridiculous.

It was a pretty pointless law anyways, considering American soldiers were already serving alongside openly gay soldiers, cause they were serving alongside British and Canadian and Australian troops, all of which have openly gay soldiers. So Americans are used to serving next to gays.

Good on Obama for FINALLY fulfilling ONE of his campaign promises though. I believe this is the first campaign promise he's actually accomplished after 2 years in office.

We're still waiting for you to close down Guantanamo Mr. Obama, you promised that too, remember?

This is a Reality TV Forum
You really shouldn't be mod :bored:

*cough* usual rhetoric about the real world being staged *cough*

Can we stop bullying TRW please? i havn't seen him saying anything rude or abusive to anyone. He likes the show, so what?

This is a Big Brother based forum, and you could argue that the real word show was the invention of that kind of reality TV, so i don't thinkit's inappropriate for him to discuss that show on a forum that's basically centered around that type of show.

Leave TRW alone, let him say what he likes.

I havn't seen him say anything abusive or outrageous so why are you guys ganging up on him?

No offence but you have not seen much of his grand total of posts. Long before you ever arrived on the scene he continually hijacked threads that had nothing to do with The Real World to somehow make the subject matter relate to the show. He considers anyone who does not give The Real World a chance a narrow minded idiot just because they don't give it a chance. He is hillarious in his denial of it being in any way staged or dramatized. He has sent me personal messages trying to get me to watch it - not taking a no for an answer - and chances are he has done like things to other people.

Liking a show is one thing. This guy just pisses people off and rightfully so. You reap what you sow.
