Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy
Gay rights activists in the United States have been pushing for the end of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy for years, but it looks like there's a new push to end it. It seems like a good idea to welcome anyone that would possibly be interested in joining the military, and ending this seemingly anti-gay policy would possibly open the door to a military career for more people. But how would the general culture of the military be altered if homosexuality were openly discussed? I admit I am ignorant about such things, but it seems as though the policy is in place to protect gays from social ridicule.
A few questions to get people started thinking...
What's your take on this policy?
Have you served in the military alongside someone you knew to be gay, how did it impact your work?
How does it differ from the policy on homosexuality in the military of other countries?
