ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Nov. 18) -- More than 100 retired generals and admirals called Monday for repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays so they can serve openly, according to a statement obtained by The Associated Press.
The move by the military veterans confronts the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama with a thorny political and cultural issue that dogged former President Bill Clinton early in his administration.

With the way that black people have traditionally felt about the issue of homosexuality, largely inline with religious beliefs, how will President Elect Obama deal with this very touchy topic.
Being apart of the Military myself, I personally have no problem serving next to anyone from any religious, ethnic or sexual background(what someone does behind closed doors is their business). But sadly most of my "Brothers in Arms" do not agree, so it will be interesting to see how this potential media storm plays out....Stay Tuned
