Lady gaga fights to overturn don't ask don't tell policy.

[forevercloud3000]

The ORIGINAL idea of don't ask don't tell had great intentions. The policy was put in place so that Gays could not be denied entry into the military simply for being such. Unfortunately by the time the law had fully been drawn out, it became just another way of ostracizing gays who are in the military. Many Gays have been dishonorably discharged for simply being what they are. I have had several friends and acquaintance that this has affected. One friend in particular was kicked out due to him being outed to his commanding officers. Its about time we have done away with this law seeing how down right unfair it is.

 

I find it so ironic because many people don't realize just how many LGBT people are actually in the military. I would have to estimate its about 20% due to the ratio of military people I meet. If we were to just eliminate all of them from our forces it would be a huge blow so US should show more appreciation for them. There is a saying, "It's ok to be gay, when your away..."
