| Pentagon bans gay sites http://rt.com/usa/news/pentagon-gay-lgbt-military-358/ Only recently has the Pentagon been willing to let lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans openly serve in the military, but it seems the Defense Department still isn’t too keen on the LGBT community. AmericaBlog, a self-described progressive journal of news and opinion, has published an article discussing how the US Department of Defense has blocked internal computers from accessing a number of websites that are categorizes as “LGBT.” John Aravosis of AmericaBlog writes this week that a handful of gay-friendly websites, including one for an association of actively-serving LGBT military personnel, has been blocked from Pentagon computers.

| They don't need to be on those sites anymore than one would need to be on Facebook while at work. Get over it and view that stuff at home.

| LGBTPZ critters may be allowed in the DoD but they don't get it that they're still not welcome in the DoD.

You can let them think they are married, but you can never make the majority of the public think that it is a real marriage.

| I suppose to have a complete discussion, we'd first need an accurate description of what sites the DoD classifies as "LGBT". edit: the OP article, the definition is alluded to, but not outright stated.
