If not for a photo of a cute soldier, then I will not know more about Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden. I think my memory is starting to lapse that I sometimes forget who he is , considering that I lived in Delaware area in the last quarter of 2008. Biden is a Democrat from Delaware, and the current US Vice President under the Obama Administration. He has been serving the US government as a Senator since 1973 with a proven track record. His numerous achievements will be tiresome for me to discuss, but, it is good to learn more about him and his stance on LGBT issues.
“I’ve been to Afghanistan, I’ve been to Iraq seven times, I’ve been in the Balkans, I’ve been in these foxholes with these kids, literally in bunkers with them. Let me tell you something, nobody asked anybody else whether they’re gay in those foxholes. Our allies — the British, the French, all our major allies — gays openly serve. I don’t know the last time an American soldier said to a backup from a Brit, ‘Hey, by the way, let me check. Are you gay? Are you straight?’ This is ridiculous.”
