Thank you thank you thank you for pulling this together. I've nosed around a bit in the US military information on these policies but frankly, found myself too annoyed most of the time to continue. Coming from a nation that allows both homosexual military members and has some of those members legally married, the entire prejudice against same-sex relationships and marriage absolutely boggles my mind.
Ever since beginning my long story here in December, I've tossed these concerns around over and over again. I even asked someone with local military ties how things are handled currently in the joint missions in Afghanistan (short answer: Canadians have their own base and return to it -- the rules for each group are just *not* the same).
And I honestly think that with Ronon being an accepted member of John's gateteam, John was in direct violation of DADT in Sunday by asking Ronon what he did. I know some will disagree, but ... well, that's my opinion and for the moment I'm sticking to it. *g*
... heading off to re-think the Dex/Zelenka dynamic ;-)
