Dont Ask Dont Tell - R.I.P

The Senate today, voted 63-33 to repeal the policy of Dont Ask Dont Tell regarding gays in the military. 8 Republicans and 2 Independents voted with Democrats for this historic vote. For more information on the vote check out Fox News HERE.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it the right time to repeal the long standing policy and change the status quo? Will this make life any safer for homosexuals in the army? Regardless of what my religious stance is about homosexuality, I honestly dont feel that it is right to force this agenda in the public sphere at the expense of our brave soldiers.

I assume that MOST men in the army will be greatly uncomfortable around soldiers they know that are outwardly gay. The unit, a tight group of guys who spend a tremendous amount of time with each other, will most likely not appreciate having thoughts in the back of their heads that one of their unit members has the hots for him. I am not saying that gay men have feelings for every single guy they see, but for soldiers who live in barracks together it cannot possibly be a good environment. I worry for those soldiers who decide to be openly gay. They might be opening up many new troubles for themselves that they might not be anticipating. I pray that this does not hurt them even more.

It would be interesting for the army to keep statistics of how many people choose to "come out" in the army now because this policy is repealed and how many openly gay individuals will join in the future.

In Defense of Mendy and Heidy

In case you have been living under a rock the past week, there was a People's Court video that involved a frum couple and a ruined sheitel (wig). What ensued has become a major horrible disgusting chillul Hashem. The video can be found on this blog HERE.

About a week ago, an article appeared on Vos Iz Neias that investigated the entire story a step further. What really happened? Why did it happen? The article, written and investigated by Rabbi Yair Hoffman still left a bunch of questions. The article, if you havent seen it yet can be found HERE.

An interview with GEORGIE, owner of the wig shop, came out today. I believe Rabbi Yair Hoffman is the one speaking to her about the entire fiasco and this is what she had to say...

THOUGHTS? FEELINGS?

The consensus seems to be that there might be more to the story than what was edited to be showed on TV but regardless... THEY ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS for putting themselves out there for something like this to happen.

DRY CLEANING YOUR WIG - HORRIFIC CHILLUL HASHEM

A frum couple goes on People's Court to sue for $3000 for a dry cleaned wig that was put into the dry cleaning stuff by accident by their child. They complain that it was the dry cleaners fault for washing it since they should have realized not to.

SEE WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END...




There is a discussion going on now on Twitter about whether or not People's Court is staged at all or to what degree. What do you guys think?

Ad Matai Hashem? How do we make this horrible golus end? The darkness and bilbul of this galus leads people to concentrate on the wrong things in life, to have mixed up values and priorities. We should only get chizuk from these types of things that we are leading our lives in the correct way, doing what Hashem wants from us, and having a positive influence on those around us. We should always have in mind ways to counter these dark moments and show the world that Jews really stand out in a positive way and not in unfortunate ways like this.
