    The Wheels are Turning to Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

    My brother probably wouldn't care what I think. He resents me for joining the army and says I took the easy way out. While he's at home mooching off my parents, crashing their cars, staying out all night, going out with guys that pay for everything, and coping with HIV. If they allow gay men and women to serve OPENLY in the militay, I would challenge him to join. But I already know the outcome and he would just keep doing what he's doing. Trust me, I try to encourage him to do better and to stop disrespecting my parents, but because I'm the little sister, and the youngest in the family, my advice is a crock of sh**.

    A lot of the responses posted, regarding my comment, seemed like people were trying to explain how racism and integration can compare to homosexuality. They don't compare. People's beliefs outside of the two, do compare. Of course, there are still racists in the army, who hide their true beliefs well. Yes there are UCMJ actions that can be taken against those who disrespect anyone of color, religion, race, etc..As of now, there are no regulations that protect homosexuals other than the "don't ask, don't tell policy." Even if UCMJ regulations are written up to protect gay men and women in the military, it still won't stop other people from harassing them, or abusing them.

    As far as religion is involved. GAY = SIN. It is also a choice. What I think: If you're gay, do what you do. But don't rub your sexuality in my face. Expecially in the military.

    Don't get mad, don't judge me, and if you are, do it righteously.

    Just to clarify, I am not a homophobe. I have a gay brother, and a gay uncle. I know that there are gay men and women in the military, I've trained beside them. I just don't think it should be acknowledged openly. It's understandable that race has been integrated into the military service. After all, America was founded on diversity, but sexuality??? Just expressing how I feel..

    I don't think gay men and women should be allowed to serve in the Armed forces. The military is not a place for gay men and women. It corrupts the way the military functions. Imagine 2 straight soldiers, and 2 gay soldiers working on a tank together. It wouldn't work. I'm in the military, I don't think it's right.
