The US Congress is trying to decide if gay people should be allowed to serve in the military. What is their problem?
Look at the facts.
Of the 26 NATO countries, 22 of them allow gay people to serve openly in the military.
Here are the countries where gay people can serve openly to defend their county:
| Albania | Argentina | Australia | Austria | Belgium | Bermuda | Brazil | Canada |
| Colombia | Czech Republic | Denmark | Estonia | Finland | France | Germany | Ireland |
| Israel | Italy | Lithuania | Luxembourg | Malta | The Netherlands | New Zealand | Norway |
| Peru | Philippines | Romania | Russia | Slovenia | South Africa | Spain | Sweden |
| Switzerland | Taiwan | United Kingdom | Uruguay |
And where can gay people not serve?
| Cuba | China | Egypt | Greece | Iran | Jamaica | North Korea | Pakistan | Saudi Arabia |
| Serbia | Singapore | South Korea | Syria | Turkey | United States | Venezuela | Yemen |
If most of the the allies of the USA allow gay people to serve openly in military, why can not it happen here in the "land of the free?"
