Event on National Mall Highlights Cost of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

Here is the link to the article. Check it out.http://www.hrc.org/8379.htm

This article is basically talking about those people serving our country that are gay, lesbian, and bisexual. Anytime you are in a branch serving the United States and it is found that you are a gay, lesbian, or bisexual you are kicked out. What does lifestyle choice have to do with these individuals wanting to serve our country. If 50% of those that fight our wars and go to battle live this lifestyle, are you going to kick them out? These persons are qualified, but aren't being treated fairly. So many times, if a person is gay, lesbian, or bisexual, they keep their lifestyle hidden because they know it is forbidden when serving our country. What do you think? Should these individuals be discharged from their service because of their lifestyle choice? What is this saying for our country? There's so much need for good, dedicated people that are willing to risk their lives for the red,white,and blue. Why kick them out?
