According to a new poll commissioned by the Vet Voice Foundation and conducted by Republican and Democratic pollsters, most veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are “comfortable around gay and lesbian people (73%), believe that being gay or lesbian has no bearing on a service member’s ability to perform their duties (60%), and would find it acceptable if gay and lesbian people were allowed to serve openly in the military (73%).” [ThinkProgress]
