Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is such a dumbo, lowest-kind-of-thinking (or rather unthinking) policy, there are, literally, no depths to plumb on the issue.
I mean, I’m sure I don’t really have to say this … BUT if you’d let a gay guy save your life in the hospital emergency room (yes, gays perform surgery!) or if you’ll let a gay woman pilot that next flight to Detroit — taking your life in her very hands — then why would you stop at letting gays put their lives on the line for this country? And, anyway, WHO CARES WHAT CONSENTING ADULTS DO IN THE BEDROOM?!
When you’ve got suburban moms talking openly about getting the bum-rush from their husbands, what’s the difference if gays do it? How you have sex does not determine your ability to fight next to your fellow military men and women.
Despite that reality, there are scads of people who support Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. So, those of us who oppose it (that would be me for sure) need to stand up and tell the power-shakers and policy-makers what we believe in and want for our country’s fighting men and women.
In May, the U.S. House and the Senate Armed Services Committee both voted to add repeal of DADT to the National Defense Authorization Act. The bill now awaits action in the full Senate. If you believe, like I do, that DADT is as asinine as Britney Spears or BP f’n up our gulfs and oceans, then send a message NOW to your senator and tell him or her (or himer) to REPEAL DADT NOW!

The bottom line is this — if you want to change this stupid, small-minded law — do something NOW.
