Don't Ask, Don't Tell

On September 13, 2010, CNN. com posts an article in which the controversial repeal of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy will follow through after marches and strong disagreements towards it. There is still yet no concluded matter until President Barack Obama, the Secretary of Defense, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff all give their approval. The decision by California federal judge from the United States District, Judge Virginia Phillips, that stated that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy was unconstitutional shifted congress' focus. Already, 12,500 gays have been discharged from the military since the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Policy has gone into effect. The executive Director and founder of Service Members United was “pleased and relieved that Senator Reid has decided to schedule the defense authorization bill for floor time next week.” He also adds that, “ It would be shameful for lawmakers to vote to hold up an important and expansive piece of legislation like the defense authorization bill simply because of their opposition to one or two provisions within it.” Discrimination towards homosexuals is what many believe this policy is all about. When the policy states and segregates that only homosexuals will be affected because of it, the public have nothing else to question but the fact if congress, the senate, or the government is being sexually discriminatory?
