Don't ask, don't tell

The Supreme Court yesterday declined to hear a constitutional challenge to the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning openly gay people from serving in the U.S. military.

"I think this decision is an absolute travesty of justice and I think every judge on this court should be ashamed of themselves," said Pietrangelo, who served six years in the Army, seven years in the Vermont National Guard, and fought in Iraq in 1991.

Times are changing, and the public is more supportive of letting gays serve in the military.
According to a July 2008 Washington Post/ABC News poll, 75 percent of Americans favor allowing gays to serve openly in the services, compared with 44 percent in 1993.

Its only a matter of time before gays can serve openly in the military. Gays solders have just as many rights as straight solders do and having to "stay in the closet" is injustice...This is United States of America...The land of the FREE! All men and woman are created EQUAL! This is INJUSTICE! Gays and Lesbians are PEOPLE too!

LET GAYS SERVE in the military!
