DADT

Im Obama's state of the union speech he said he would try to get rid of "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Many say that they need to go about this gradually, not all at once. The issues of doing this are cost of implementation, benefits for gay spouses, potential hate crimes. I don't see how costly this will be in terms of money; maybe for seperate bunkers and showers? Gay people have every right to serve in the military without fear of being discharged based on their sexuality. Even at the very least they should not expel personnel whose homosexuality is revealed by third parties. One of the reason not to get rid of this policy is because people believe that a gay person will try to swoop down and get you. Gays are in locker rooms with Straight guys at this very moment, even serving in the military. Gays aren't predators, when DADT gets lifted, gay people aren't going to come out and prance around in the military, they will still be the same as before, but without the fear of getting DISCHARGED once people find out.
