It is being reported across the "LGBT" Twitter world that the GOP debate got nasty when a gay American soldier was booed. I haven't been following the political poppycock because I would hope that Americans,gay or straight, would be rational enough to allow gays to serve openly in the military.

Rick Santorum, like the rest of the Tea Partier candidates, is trying to out anti-gay the rest of the politicians. It would seem by saying he would reinstate the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy, which makes it a crime to serve in the military as gay, that he is looking to build a campaign of stupidity, discrimination, and hatred. Under DADT if a gay soldier talks about their attraction to the same sex, talks about their attraction to their same sex partner, or in any way talks about how they are not attracted to the opposite sex, they risk/risked being thrown out of the military and a loss of all military benefits.

These benefits include disability benefits, tuition costs, unemployment benefits, and more. Luckily this policy is gone, but with the threat of a Tea Partier douche-bag as president, (fuck political correctness), Don't Ask Don't Tell could be put back in place. And the dirtiest piece of all is that during the debate and campaign trail, the GOP finds it appropriate to boo a gay soldier who inquires about the policy.

Live report from ABC blogger Bryon Wolf states

Gays in the Military – 10:18 – Santorum gets applause from the crowd in his passionate opposition to lifting don’t ask don’t tell policy, which was lifted Monday. The questioner, by the way, was a soldier in Iraq. Santorum says he’d reinstate the policy. Doesn’t know what he’d do with the soldiers who are now out of the closet
