Thoughts On Don't Ask Don't Tell?

[Saltheart]

As long as they fight like a tiger , I don't care who or how they get their rocks off with.

I just don't understand why people have to even mention their sexual preference. I don't see how its part of the job or why anyone else even cares. Man or woman , keep your hands to yourself and be a soldier. I guess I just don't get it!

gay soldiers may be a bit victimized by the general protrayal of gays in popular media and culture and then trying to translate that somehow to fighting on the battlefield....would you watch a gay pride parade and then relate that to "fighting like tigers"?...or any gay characters on televsion, movies etc.....unfortunate but if the prevailing stereotype particularly gay men is not necessarily lending itself to the macho fighting machine image...was there a soldier in the Village People?
