GAY FREEDOM in the MILITARY
- by: Self
- recipient: US Military
I believe that we should suppress the limitations of Gay freedom's and rights in the Military. Currently there is a don't ask, don't tell policy. The act prohibits any homosexual person from disclosing his or her sexual orientation or from speaking about any homosexual relationships, including marriages or other familial attributes, while serving in the United States armed forces. In any case, any Gay individual that serves in the Military should be able to openly express themselves, and their sexual orientation, freely as any straight individual does. They are serving this Country, and fighting in this war, in which they chose to do in order to protect the freedoms that we already posess, in all fairness shouldn't they have their freedoms too, risking their lives for ours? For God's sake can't love be enough?
We, the undersigned, believe that gay individuals in the Military should be able to express their sexuality, however they please, the same way that straight individuals do. The don't ask, don't tell policy gives them a certian limit of protection, so long as they don't talk about their personal lives, nor partake in openly expressing their personal lives in public, for the mere fact that if caught they can be kicked out of the Military. Therefore they do not recieve the same rights and freedoms as straight individuals. Whether they are gay or straight, they are still fighting this war for you, for this Country, isn't that enough? They are fighting for yours, and our rights, to all freedoms. Can't they enjoy the same thing? You really shouldn't concern yourself with others personal lives and affairs, they don't with yours! How you chose to indulge in your personal affairs is your business, let our affairs be our personal business as well. Why is it so hard for straight people to just be happy in their lives, and just live, and let others live. Let us face God, the same way you will. He might not be happy with our love for the same sex, but do you honestly belive that he is happy with all you straight people trying to play master God? I highly doubt it. You should consider the facts that have presented themselves before your eyes, and think before you belittle. Thank you for your time.
