Don't Ask, Don't Tell

The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is a debated piece of politics that I have been frustrated with every time that I hear about it. I feel that the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (otherwise known as DADT), should not even be debated about. There is such a large controversy surrounding it, yet to me I just can’t seem to understand why. Currently before the DADT, lesbian and gay people are not allowed to come out of the closet if they are a part of the military. People who have come out of the closet are not allowed to join the military because they are openly gay. The DADT would allow closet gays and lesbians in the military to come out of the closet. However, the people against this are claiming that they don’t want their butts to be stared at or to suddenly start seeing pink boas all over. They keep claiming about how offensive that would be to them. However since gay people are in the military, then butts have probably already been stared at, and it is highly unlikely that someone would bring a pink boa to war or training. To me it just seems unfair that there is so much prejudice against those who like the same gender, when they are people too and have the same rights as heterosexuals.
