Gay reference[edit]

I have to say Lawrence that you're off on this one. This template isn't in someone's user space. It's a public template and therefore open for editing by anyone. The change I made to it is indeed appropriate as it linked to Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I'm asking you to restore it. -- ALLSTARecho 17:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm not going to edit war, over it, if you want to restore it. Given all the incredible nastiness I just saw in tracking down diffs and evidence for the Sanchez ANI issue, I may have knee jerked on this one. Lawrence Cohen 17:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted it back. Sanchez is indef-blocked, so the template is no longer on his page. It is, however, on the page of another user, and it's inappropriate to use his page to promote your views. Horologium (talk) 22:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My, my. So much happens when you spend the day out at the park. This template is nothing special. It is copied off Template:User USAF and Template:User USCG. I do not see any gay references on the other templates. There's also no references to other things that keep people from serving, such as being paraplegic, a foreign national, or a Jehovah's Witness. -- kainaw ™ 23:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
