Tell Your Representative: Repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Can gay Americans serve in the military and protect our nation's security just as well as straight Americans? Of course they can. So it makes zero sense that our government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to purge the military of gay servicemembers -- including many with valuable skills desperately needed in today's armed forces, such as Arabic language specialists. Gay soldiers have served in every war our nation has fought, and currently serve openly in the military of almost every modern industrialized nation on the planet (including 20 out of 25 NATO countries). There's just no reason that people with the courage and skills the military needs should be prevented from serving in our armed forces simply based on their sexual orientation. |
