Gay Navy Secretary? Cue the Outrage

By Ed Brayton

And you just knew that outrage would come from Elaine Donnelly and be published by the AFA, the folks who are so bigoted that they refuse to even use the word gay. I especially like this quote:

Donnelly says while there is no requirement that a Naval secretary have military experience, she thinks it would be better if they did. That way, she argues, the individual would better understand the stresses and burdens imposed on those who volunteer to serve in the military.

That's funny, because Donnelly has no military experience at all yet she blasts the dozens and dozens of high-ranking military officers who support the repeal of DADT and claims that she understands the stresses and burdens of military service better than they do.
