I'm very disturbed about the Army possibly lifting the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. It's really the "Don't Ask" part that bothers me. I do not feel it is anyone's business to know what people do in privacy, especially when it relates to sex. ANYONE'S sexual orientation - homosexual or heterosexual - is nobody's business!
The Don't Tell part, well I do think that should be lifted. There should be no unfavorable consequence for being or admitting to being gay and especially should not be grounds for dismissal!
Since we are unfortunately a country not yet exempt from hate crimes, I would worry that lifting the policy could be detrimental to the safety of gays. I sincerely hope I'm wrong!
