He is lucky, some of them were kept in prison until the German laws changed in 1969.

Rudolf Brazda, The Last Pink Triangle Survivor

October 15 2010
(Invalid video video code)

Goodness, this interview with Rudolf Brazda, believed to be the last known survivor of the Pink Triangles (forced to the Buchenwald concentration camp for being gay, where they were outfitted with pink triangles instead of yellow), is an emotional roller coaster. Gut wrenching. But also inspiring! An estimated 5,000 to 15,000 queers were executed at the Holocaust camps. Brazda is 97-years-old, and spent three years — 1942-45 — at Buchenwald. He settled in France after the war, where he now lives.

An internal Navy Memo stated that they've ceased all discharges based on DADT. Hopefully, the other branches will follow suit.

A bit of an update to the DADT saga

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/8065426/US-government-seeks-delay-in-lifting-military-gay-ban.html

On Tuesday Virginia Phillips, a district judge in California, ordered an injunction against the enforcement of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule, on the basis that it violated the constitutional rights of gay troops, who can be dismissed if their sexuality is exposed.

Her ruling threatens an end to the 17-year-old law, which was introduced under the then-president Bill Clinton and has long been fiercely criticised by its numerous opponents.

Lawyers from the Department of Justice (DoJ) confirmed soon after the ruling that Barack Obama's administration would appeal against it, despite Mr Obama's pledge during his presidential campaign to scrap the law.

The US Defence Department said on Thursday that it had issued guidance to its commanders that the court order should be obeyed. Hours later, however, the DoJ confirmed it had asked for the ruling to be postponed.

A spokesman said the department was applying "for an order staying the application of the court's entry of a permanent injunction in this case pending appeal."

The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law is estimated to have resulted in the departure from the military of 14,000 qualified troops.

Mr Obama has ordered a year-long review of the potential implications of ending the ban. The review is due to be completed in December.

Robert Gates, the Defence Secretary, and Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, also favour ending the law, but have said they would prefer it to be phased out slowly.

A task force and our own episodes sound good too!

Re: What missions would you like to see?

I've created a group for this, Foundry Task Force. If anyone would like to help with this sort of thing, go ahead and join and when it goes onto Tribble, we can start messing about with it.

Bit of an explanation in the first post. :3

Quote by ethan muldoon
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/09/federal-court-dont-ask-dont-tell-is-unconstitutional/

A federal court in Riverside, California, ruled Thursday that the
military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy - which bars lesbians and gay men
from serving openly in the military – is unconstitutional.

Virginia A. Phillips, U.S. district judge in Southern California, has ruled
that the policy violates the Fifth and First amendments, and issued a permanent injunction barring its enforcement.

I've said this a few times, once UGC comes out we should develop what I call "Fleet Canon" where there would be a collection of missions made by the fleet, for the fleet, featuring our characters and stories.!


Would this be something that people would be interested in starting a Task Force for? Where a group of people who were really interested in this could put out our own weekly "Stonewall Fleet" cannon episodes?


ME! MEMEMEMEMEMEME! *WAVES HAND IN THE AIR ALL CRAZY LIKE*
