(This week, General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called same-sex relationships “immoral.” The remarks came during an interview with the Chicago Tribune when Pace was asked to comment on the military’s discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which bars gays and lesbians from serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces. During the interview Pace also compared “homosexual acts” to “adulterous affairs.”) Follow the LINK for the rest of this story

I found this to be just plain unprofessional. He represents a very important institution. It seems to me like he used his position to relay his own opinions into the media. I There are thousands of U.S. Gay and Lesbian Soldiers in the military, can you imagine your leader telling you that your are immoral and not only that refusing to even apologize.

Movie from class

The movie we saw in class was a bit more of an eye opener for me. I really like music, I have favorite artists and I like their work. After I saw the film I almost felt like I was wrong for liking them. Artist like Beyonce and Shakira appeared in this film. I really like their style and their music. I usually appreciate most of their videos, but I feel like I finally actually saw what I was looking at. I been so desensitized when I watch videos that I only notice the obvious ( like half naked women all over rappers who provide the viewer with all sorts of sexual innuendos. I don't tend so see these artists as ridiculously over sexual in their videos or their music, but I think that it could be because their lyrics are not overly sexual, so I overlook those things in videos, I don't seem to take in the obvious I just accept it as another video and I'll label it as cute or something.
