9. When there's war, herd 'em up and kill 'em all. In "peace" time,
shun them and exclude them from serving their country which they feel they need or want to do.

There's a gigantic double-standard at work. We're tolerated and even wanted when it comes time to save this oh-so-wonderful country from dastardly characters we created in a previous chapter, but otherwise we're spat on. I've got a huge problem with this.

Personally, any country that relegates people to second-class is unsavory, especially when they take out first-class taxes and claim, amongst other things, that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. (Though I'm still trying to fathom how they could say that and support slavery... odd fellows, our forefathers...) Indeed, I can't fathom why we glbt folk would want to support our country when cretinous creatures like Bush* are in power. "Do unto others"...
