It's great to read Todd Heywood's pieces for he really gets down to the nitty gritty. I can overlook those four or five people who thought sexual orientation shouldnt be added to the human rights ordinance. What I can't understand is in a time of war, why would Kathy Dunbar want to remove military discharge status? Since it is getting media attention it's obviously important. Our soldiers deserve the same respect whether they are LGBT or straight. My advice to her is don't remove anything or add anything!
