Kinda like Rosa Parks knowingly violating a rule, presumably to promote some agenda?
The horror!
No, not anything like Rosa Parks. May be just as unfair, but the two are not the same. You should be able to see that.
I don't see anything wrong with breaking unfair rules. Having sex at BYU. Smoking marijuana at a party. Keeping homosexuality a secret so you can serve your country (or just keep your job). Breaking unfair rules is part of changing the rules for the better.

Why don't you shut the “F” up and leave the thinking to people with a brain? F*cking moron. Jesus called... he needs you to give him your little bone again.

I find there's a difference between the sort of rules I'll tolerate on a voluntary basis at someone's home, those I'll voluntarily tolerate from an entity such as BYU, and mandatory laws I'll tolerate from the government.Even then, I'll tolerate some laws I find unfair. I don't like the way rich people enjoy certain tax loopholes, but I'm not going to try tax evasion to protest it.

Sure they're different. One was done by a black woman and one by a homosexual.
I'm failing to see what the significant difference here was given the context of your words about agendas and violating rules. Perhaps you could enlighten me rather than playing some variant of the cliché game "if you don't know, then I'm certainly not going to tell you" or some other guessing game.

You strike me as the kind of guy with a foot fetish. The nice thing about Jesus is he's got nail holes in his feet you can hump. And of course, if that gets old, he can always give you a hand job without ever closing his hand around your tiny member.
You lucky devil, you.

The "Don't Ask/Don't Tell" rule was crafted specifically as a wink wink/nod nod way for homosexuals to serve in the military. While officially there was a prohibition against their serving, the policy was specifically undermined by the very public decision not to ask candidates for military service about their sexuality. Also, candidates for military service were told, specifically, not to tell anyone. So, this soldier signed up, and presumably didn't tell anyone he was gay until after DADT was repealed. Sounds to me like he was doing pretty much exactly what he should have.
Also, Hoops, seriously, you think all these gays joined the military while keeping their sexual orientation a secret in order to promote an agenda? I agree with you, if by "promote agenda" you mean "in order to have a job". There are a lot of good opportunities for people in the military. I think gay people joined the military for pretty much the same reasons anyone else did - not to promote some kind of political agenda.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

Yep, it was a pretty crappy rule. One your boy put into place. Don't blame republicans for that one.

yes, he was. Are we talking about him? Or are we talking about the booing that you referenced earlier, because if we are you will have show evidence that the booing was in response the soldier being gay, rather than at the rule itself. And you will have to show evidence it was actually "republitards' doing the booing because the soldier is gay.

so now we're talking about "all these gays"? I thought we were talking about the one. And if we are, for one to get up in a public forum and announce his sexual orientation it's reasonable to conclude that he has an agenda.

Me to. What is it exactly that would make you satisfied here?
