The Armed Services Committee has voted 16-12 to repeal the controversial “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about gays in the military.This will allow the Senate to vote on this fear based policy. <\/p>\n

Fear causes all of our judgments. I have noticed that homosexuality and abortion seem to evoke incredible amounts of fear and judgment and then we create more laws. <\/p>\n

These wonderful gay men and women have been serving the US military for years and in return have received judgment and expulsion from the service. <\/p>\n


\nWhat does your fear stop you from doing in your life? What does your fear cause you to do? When I make my choices based on fear I seldom like the outcome. Love and accpetance will set us free. Angels never judge, they just love everyone.<\/p>\n

My hat is off to the Senators that voted to lift the ban and my prayers are with the Senators stuck in their fear and judgment who voted against lifting the ban. May love fill their hearts and free them from judgment and fear. <\/p>\n
