Don't Ask, Don't Tell.....

Do we keep "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" or do we let it go...that is the question that has been going around for a while. The Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a policy that has to do with homosexual people that are in the military. The policy came to surface when former President Bill Clinton passed the policy in 1993. Ever since then the policy has up and downs upon what all the policy should say.The "Don’t Ask" provision mandates that military or appointed officials will not ask about or require members to reveal their sexual orientation. The "Don’t Tell" states that a member may be discharged for claiming to be a homosexual or bisexual or making a statement indicating a tendency towards or intent to engage in homosexual activities.



Since then their has been many people who supported the Dont't Ask, Don't Tell policy... the main group that has done alot for the policy is the Log Cabin Republicians. The Log Cabin Republicians mainly support Republicians and homosexual people. The Log Cabin Republicians want the policy to be suspended due to openly gay or lesbian people being kicked out of the military. The LCR has filed a lawsuit against the US and in the lawsuit a federal district judge declared the policy to be unconstitutional.Obama officials want the policy repealed, but oppose a court ruling to end it. During the wait for the Supreme Court to decide the policy on gays in the military remains in effect until the appeals process is complete.


I believe that the policy should stay in the military and that the Supreme Court should add a couple different and more things to the policy like if a person entering the military is open about their sexuality, that they still can be drafted. Regardless to if the person is gay, lesbian, transgenger, open about it or closed..... Everybody is equal and should have the same rights as a straight person. Our laws need to be more specific when it comes to things like this also our amendments need to have more information about LGBT rights. This is just my opinion....what is yours when it comes to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy and LGBT ?????
