“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”

Does a person have the right to be a homosexual and fight for our country? Homosexual men and women had been hiding in the shadows at one point so many years ago and now there are so many homosexuals that speak up to fight for those who can't. I fight for those who can't speak; however, I am not a homosexual. I personally would like to be called a woman and I know that the homosexual men and women out there would like to be addressed the same. To be quite honest, we are all human beings that have feelings; whether gay or straight. So why homosexual men and woman can't fight; my money is that they don't want someone with that kind of sexual orientation to represent their country. Well, I say screw them, who cares whether you're gay or straight. A person is a person and according to God if anyone believes in a God, he states that every person should be treated equally. I am not much of a religious believer, but I do think that is the right way to follow. How can we as human beings say that you cannot be gay to fight for our country? When in fact wanting to fight in the first place shows how much character they have. I say stand and fight, not just for our country but yourselves. For all the men and women that are gay and soldiers of our country I salute you, not just for your bravery, but for your profound dignity and strength. You've kept your secret long enough and it's time to stop fighting for us, so we can fight for you.
