Ban on homosexuals in US military
CANBERRA: The government has reaffirmed its ban on homosexuals In the military, drawing accusations of discrimination Friday from gay rights and civil liberties groups, reports AP.
The continuing of the ban on lesbians and gay men In the defence forces Is simply blind prejudice and totally unacceptable," said Paul Costello, a spokesman for Gay and Lesbian Rights.
Defense Minister Robert Ray announced the decision Thursday while issuing a policy on "unacceptable sexual behavior" that Included sexual harassment and criminal sex offenses.
Ray's statement came the same day Britain said it would no longer prosecute homosexuality as a military crime. British military personnel caught participating In homosexual activity could still be dismissed.
The Australian military reviewed its ban on homosexual activity under pressure from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission after a number of cases involving gay military staff.
The policy says the military will consider dismissing a member of the armed forces who Is found to be involved In homosexual conduct.
Federal Human Rights Commissioner Brian Burdckln accused the government of maintaining a double standard by banning gays tn the military but not other departments.
Costello, of Gay and Lesbian Rights, said the policy conflicted with the International Labor Convention’s ban on sexual discrimination in the workplace.
We all ought to go to his school
WICHITA: From the peasant villages of Russia to thcwhcat fields of Middle America. Boris Yeltsin has won over the people with his brand of populism. He even stunned the American politicians who were his hosts, reports AP.
"I’d like to keep him a week and make him my campaign manager." Sen. Bob Dole, joked Thursday as Yeltsin departed for Canada after a five-hour visit to Kansas following the summit in Washington.
Dole's fellow Kansas Republican. Sen Nancy Kassebaum. agreed that American politicians could learn a lot from Yeltsin.
"We were saying we all ought to go to his school."
Kassebaum said. "He's a natural. He's got great instincts and won a lot of friends".
Yeltsin arrived Thursday night in Ottawa. He was to address Parliament on Friday, meet with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and ask for 2.4 billion dollar in aid.
Earlier this week in Washington, Yeltsin addressed Congress, requested aid and was hailed as a world-class statesman for negotiating landmark nuclear missile reductions with President Bush.
Yeltsin seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself, despite the 90°F (32°C) heat and fatigue from a packed schedule, and seemed impressed by what he saw at the farm and a meatpacking plant.
Asked what he'd like to take back from the farm, he responded, "I'd take everything, including the family".
In his speeches, translated from Russian, Yeltsin touched on Kansas' pride in agriculture, their patriotism, desire for peace and down-home friendliness. "There is no way we will ever be even potential adversaries," Yeltsin told an audience at Wichita State University. "No, we arc friends. We made it".
