Homosexuality is big in today's news both north and south of the Canada-U.S. border.
South of the border, this is the day that President Obama signed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act into law. North of the border, it's the day the announcement was made that Alberta's Health Minister ordered the removal of homosexuality from the province's guide to mental health disorders. The guide helps the doctors of Alberta to decide what to bill when they've treated a patient. "I ordered the immediate removal of something I thought was incorrect, unacceptable, rather ancient in its thinking and otherwise demeaning," said Gene Zwozdesky, the health minister.
You know, those words would be exactly the right ones for Obama to use as well, if he were to want a summation of his signing the DA,DT repeal. Now if we could just get the rest of the population on board with this.
