President Obama was incontrovertible about the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell during the State of the Union address on Jan. 27. The law, which definitively prohibits openly gay men and women from the military service, is a priority for his administration in 2010.
Simultaneously, for the first time since the Bush administration, liberals and gays of the U.S. can say they are proud to be Americans.
Apparently we’d rather lose valuable assets to the defense of our country because of something as discriminatory as homosexuality and it’s satisfying to judgmental conservatives to honorably discharge someone who, for example, is trained in human intelligence and speaks Arabic.
We do not deny the rights of anyone serving the military on the basis of race or religion.
It is completely unethical and unacceptable to reject or discharge someone for being comfortable with his or her sexuality.
Men and women from the U.S. military are honored and respected for giving their time and lives to Americans.
They fight our battles on the front line. But until now, any unashamedly homosexual men or women were shunned from being part of that honor.
Risking your life for your country is more than we can ask from our Americans.
How could we have asked reticence of the gay community in addition to the most heavily weighing burden a citizen can bear?
Consequently, this political tendency is finally being put right thanks to President Obama.
Since the State of the Union address is typically used as a platform for the most pressing contentions and institutions, Obama did not give a detailed account of the groundwork of his plan for Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal.
But to all of the gay men and women from military service that this will affect, the affirmation of I will was more than sufficient.
