Don't Ask Don't Tell For Straight People Too?

Don't Ask Don't Tell For Straight People Too?

The Issue

Another week, another dismissal from the forces because of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy, with the latest victim being 18-year-old student Todd Belok, who brought his boyfriend to a college party and was "open" about his sexuality to his friends, two of which then informed on him.

You may remember that we previously reported on the case of Amy Brian, an Iraq war veteran and a woman who had served with the Kansas National Guard for nine years, that was discharged after one of her civilian colleagues reported seeing her kissing another woman in a Wal-Mart checkout line.

Now, another person has fallen victim to the DADT policy, but as we shall see below, there are wider reaching implications to the DADT that go beyond excluding openly gay people from the military.

Should all forms of sexuality be banned in the military?
