Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy
What is the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy?
The “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy is an American law which in effect forbids people who are openly non-heterosexual from serving in the military. The policy has attracted a great deal of public comment from a variety of communities, laying out from capitalists who want to ban homosexuals from serving altogether to gays and lesbians who would like to enlist and remain open about their sexual identity. The law was designed as a compromise between conservatives and President Bill Clinton, who had pledged to support gays and lesbians who wanted to serve.
Non-heterosexuals who have left the military have cited Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell as a origin of degree emphasize and misery. Many advocates point out that women were barred from serving in the military until 1948 with many of the same arguments, and that these arguments turned out to be specious once women were allowed into the military.
