DADT Dont Ask Dont Tell

U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy is the first veteran from the current Iraq War to serve in Congress. He's also the lead legislator behind efforts to repeal the archaic and discriminatory "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy which prevents openly gay and lesbian soldiers from serving in the U.S. military. For Rep. Murphy, there is one solid, succinct message for the U.S. government: Let gays and lesbians serve.

Well there is one thing wrong with what was posted on this article I read. Gays and Lesbians are allowed to serve in our armed forces but not allowed to be who they are. They are not allowed to let people know they are gay. THe current DADT law that President Bill Clinton put into placed broke the ban on Gays and Lesbians serving in our armed forces. They are just not allowed to be who they are which is totally wrong and stands against what our country was founded on.

Let me tell you this.. How right is it for a 28 year old man to be serving his country in 3 wars and then when found that he is gay he is discharged from the armed services? Also with the goverment wanting to increase enrollment why are they discharging valant men and woman becuase of there sexual oreintation? This is wrong and totally disgusting to me.

Also President Obama has promised to get rid of DADT and now when he is in office he says the time is not right. WELL WHEN WILL THE TIME BE RIGHT!?

I am totally disgusted with the way our leaders tell us one thing and then turn around and do another. DADT needs to go away and it needs to go away NOW! Th is is the same kind of retoric from back in history that wouldnt allow blacks to serve our great nation. If you are an American Citizen I strongly beilive that you should be allowed to defend this country and serve no matter what your sexuality, color, religion etc is. We are all Americans. It shouldnt matter who we sleep with!

This just proves that the Goverment and President Obama wants to keep the LGBT community as 2nd class citizens. What are they scared of?
