This quote is both sad and hilarious (talking about how the military would try to root out people who were gay from the ranks of military hospital employees):

"I was fortunate," Petersen said. "We passed."

"People would come up in the hospital, and they were always hunting for gay people," she continued, talking about the military.

"Captain," the investigators asked, "Do you have any ... people being gay here?"

"I said, 'Not a one,'" she recalled.

And on the other side there's this:

A "mom's group" is offended by J.C. Penney's commercial starring Ellen Degeneres. Because...it stars Ellen Degeneres, and she's gay.

Here's my favorite quote from that article:

Viewers of the ad on YouTube were puzzled by the group's objection.

"THIS IS SO OFFENSIVE -- Said nobody with a brain ever," wrote one viewer.
