Don't Ask Don't Tell

In the NY Daily News article, "Lady Gaga Rallies Against 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'"  by Meena Hartenste, Lady Gaga protests against the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" law. "Don't Ask Don't Tell" is about the legality of gay soldiers fighting. The law is that the military can't ask if you are gay and you can't tell anyone or you can be kicked out of the military. Lady Gaga states, "I'm here today because don't ask don't tell is wrong. It's injust. I'm here today because I would like to propose a new law. A law that sends home the soldier that has the problem. Our new law is called 'If you don't like it, go home.'" I'm totally in favor of Lady Gaga's law because it should be the soldiers that have the problem that need to go home not the ones that don't. It should not matter if you are gay. Lady Gaga also says, "Doesn't don't ask don't tell seem backwards? Doesn't it seem to you that we should send home the prejudice? The straight soldier who hates the gay soldier, whose performance is affected because he is homophobic?". I believe that the soldiers who are against gays need to be sent home. It's not fair if only straights can go in the military. Gays can perform as well as straight soldiers. What happened to "every man is created equal"? The gays aren't prejudiced and saying "Oh well, I hate most people because they are straight".


My uncles are gay and I love them to death. It really doesn't matter if people are gay or not. It's just who they are and they shouldn't be judged or hated because of it.
