January 1st, 2011 Daniel Fincke A Daily Dish reader’s first hand experience: before DADT the policy was more about conduct at least in the minds of the commanding officers, not the mere mention of the fact that one was gay or had those inclinations. I joined the Army National Guard in 1988 and was called up for a time in [...]

October 12th, 2010 Daniel Fincke CNN reports: A federal judge ordered Tuesday that the U.S. military stop enforcing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.

August 30th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Just as Christian fundamentalists quote only very selectively from the Bible what is most useful for their rather peculiar contemporary interpretations of their religion, so does Glenn Beck only focus on narrow slivers of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ideas despite insisting that he and those in his movement are the true heirs of, and resumption [...]

U.S. District Judge Rules DOMA Unconstitutional
July 8th, 2010 Daniel Fincke A just outcome, but I am not sure how I feel about appealing to states’ rights to define marriage for themselves, which could inevitably be used as a justification for individual states to deny gays’ rights to marriage. The case is about equal rights, not states rights, and should have been settled as such: A [...]
