After years of debate and months of preparations, the military can no longer prevent gays from serving openly in its ranks. The repeal of the 1993 law known as "Don't Ask Don't Tell" took effect Tuesday. (Sept. 20)

  • Honestly, I'm all for gay rights. But I don't think that the military should encourage any sort of sexuality. That's not the point of being in the military. I think that both heterosexuals and homosexuals should not be allowed to have sexual relations while deployed, because it's like doing so at work. Fighting for our country should be void of sexuality. Leave that for home.

  • They realized its time for the gays to be sacrificed in the battlefield

  • @tigerstone91

    this is true sweetness, DADT is repealed. Lets pray for our troops as they are the ones who have to do the fighting.

  • @tigerstone91

    Yep, thats right. I read SO many newspaper stories about hate crimes involving gay men getting beaten up and gang raped by packs of straight men. News is just full of those reports.

  • heres some reading for you looke this up: Article: 'Is Homophobia Associated With Homosexual Arousal?' by Henry E. Adams, Ph.D., Lester W. Wright, Jr., Ph.D. and Bethany A. Lohr, University of Georgia, in Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol. 105, No. 3, pp 440-445.

    Now I know what you are so against it

  • I have other priorities in life than to debate a ignorant person who bases all his arguments on sterotypes and fear without never backing any of his arguments up with cold hard facts(like the fact nice gay people exist). So I'm gonna ignore all your replies from now on, because not matter how hard you debate me it won't change the fact that DADT is repealed. Now if you exist me I will go hug all my gay friends, who have always been there for me. l

  • P.S As much as I love our litte debate here, we have been debating on this for nearly a month now. Which I realise is slight pointless because no matter what you say, DADT is still repealed.

  • @valglass12 It true being gay is become more accepted in the mainstream, so people( that includes soliders) are used to the idea of someone being gay.

  • DADT was abused, and money was wasted so why keep it. Chances are it would go back to witch hunts if we go back to DADT, because that what happened when the US had it.
