Don’t ask, don’t tell?
What’s the big deal about supporting it?
When joining the military, why should you have to check a box that denotes whether you are gay or straight?
What does it matter?
I ask this because most gay people I know are pissy about McCain because he supports this. I would have thought that gay people would support this too. I posted this question in the “elections” category and the answers I got were of the sort:
“Because in the field of battle, when under attack, troops need to man the artilliery rather than discuss a pair of Jimmy Choo slingbacks.”
“can gays do the job”
“it matters to the straight guy if you have a Bubba hanging around the showers saying “Look at the submarine”"
Straight people want Don’t Ask Don’t Tell taken away so they can know who’s gay and stay away from them. I don’t understand why gay people support this being taken away as well.
I’m not trying to offend anyone, I just want to hear your thoughts.
Here’s two more answers I got:
“There is no room for Gays in the military!”
“gay men are like women. Would you rather have a tough man watching your back or a dainty girl?”
I guess my question is, “Do you realize why most straight people want this taken away?”
Look at the disturbing answers I got.
These people want it taken away.
No one is reading what I am saying. Are you comfortable with that fact that straight men want Don’t Ask Don’t Tell taken away because they want to be able to know who is gay and stay away from them? I don’t understand how you can support something that someone that is anti-gay also supports.
