ASK NOT is a rare and compelling exploration of the effects of the US military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. The film exposes the tangled political battles that led to the discriminatory law and examines the societal shifts that have occurred since its passage in 1993. Current and veteran gay soldiers reveal how "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" affects them during their tours of duty, as they struggle to maintain a double life, uncertain of whom they can trust. The film also explores how gay veterans and youth organizers are turning to forms of personal activism to overturn the policy. From a national speaking tour of conservative universities to protests at military recruitment offices, these public events question how the U.S. military can claim to represent democracy and freedom while denying one segment of the population the right to serve.

I think the reason Mitt Romney is not "ready" yet to be able to handle questions from Democrats is that he's not "ready" yet to be President of the United States and Leader of the Free World!

Which CNN employee called you to ask a question?

Looks like Hillary hired a bunch of people to post comments on your page. "You're such an inspiration...blah, blah." "You're a true American hero..yada, yada, yada." Sheeesh!

homosexuals are never satisfied with their postion no mater how advantageous. give them an inch and they'll take....bad metaphor, sorry. thank your for your service, general.

I commend you for the extraordinary bravery you have shown both on and off the battlefield, and for the great love you still clearly show for a country and a military that has used and persecuted you. No member of the armed forces should ever give so much to their country and receive so little in return. All governments must recognise and value the character of each and every serviceman and woman fighting to protect their home.

Clearly your bravery extends past the Battlefield. As a Canadaian I am amazed at your countries level of unacceptance. It is disappointing and very scary.

Complain to your boss the Clintons about "Don't Ask Don't Tell"...it was BILL CLINTON that enacted it and signed it into law.

Republicans don't ask questions in the Democratic debates when they know they will not vote for Democrats. Why then do Democrats ask questions in Republican debates when they know they will not vote for Republicans?

Thank you so much for the question posed to the Republican debate.
Thanks, too, for your service and for your courage to lead others in and out of uniform.

I just want to say, thank you for your service and bravery. I am behind you 100% and I'm glad you asked such a question. It opened my eyes to the stupidity of the republican candidates.
