random wednesday roundup.
Firstly, I'd like to officially, in writing, ask that NPR, PRI, and the likes of public radio everywhere finally drop the craptastic realaudio they've been riding for so long now. Sure, you were quick on the uptake, fore-runners of the technology, but now it's time to use something just like you: publically funded, free, and open solutions.
Secondly,
don't ask, don't tell them you're disabled:
A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position. The document outlines retirement or other discharge policies for service members with physical disabilities, and in a section on defects lists homosexuality alongside mental retardation and personality disorders.
Thirdly, on a somewhat related note -
The evolution of homosexual animals:
Japanese macaques, an old world primate, illustrate this principle perfectly. Macaque society revolves around females, who form intricate dominance hierarchies within a given group. Males are transient. To help maintain the necessary social networks, female macaques engage in rampant lesbianism. These friendly copulations, which can last up to four days, form the bedrock of macaque society, preventing unnecessary violence and aggression..
"When animals exhibit homosexual behavior, they are just using their genitals for a socially significant purpose."
