With the Republican primary debates heating up and the presidential election of 2012 nearing, it is easy to see how Gov. Rick Perry is slipping in the polls.


According to a survey conducted by the Associated Press on Oct.13, Perry has slipped to third place, falling behind businessman Herman Cain.


His unfavorable ratings have soared to 44 percent, almost double what they were when he first joined the presidential race.

Congress finally repealed Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, a bill restricting the rights of homosexual soldiers, 18 years after then-President Bill Clinton signed it into law.

 

At the time of its implementation, the bill was believed to be a movement towards equality. However, strict enforcement often seemed like a witch-hunt for homosexuals in the military.

 

Since the policy was introduced, there have been thousands of discharges on the assumption of soldiers’ sexual orientation.
