Quick bit from "Don't Ask Don't Tell" hearings



The Washington Post's Dana Milbank had commentary this morning (the Bilerico Project calls it a "must read") on yesterday's testimony by Elaine Donnelly of the anti-gay Center for Military Readiness:

Donnelly treated the panel to an extraordinary exhibition of rage. She warned of 'transgenders in the military.' She warned that lesbians would take pictures of people in the shower. She spoke ominously of gays spreading 'HIV positivity' through the ranks.

Her written statement added warnings about 'inappropriate passive/aggressive actions common in the homosexual community,' the prospects of 'forcible sodomy' and 'exotic forms of sexual expression,' and the case of 'a group of black lesbians who decided to gang-assault' a fellow soldier.

Next up: a video clip of Freshman Representative, Patrick Murphy's (D-PA) response to Elaine Donnelly of the Center For Military Readiness, followed by the testimony of openly gay Iraq veteran Eric Alva, who lost a leg in combat:
