Support the Repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell"

Public Law 103-160, codified at 10 U.S.C. Sec. 654 more commonly known as 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is unique in that it is officially sanctioned discrimination. Any servicemember may be confronted with investigations and official inquirys if there is any suspicion of their sexuality. 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is the only law in the land that authorizes the firing of an American for being gay. There is no other federal, state, or local law like it. Indeed, 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is the only law that punishes gays, lesbians, and bisexuals for coming out. An honest statement of one's sexual orientation to anyone, anywhere, anytime, may lead to facing a discharge. Since 1993, over 12,000 Americans serving honorably in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard have been discharged simply due to their sexuality, and many others have left to avoid discrimination and prejudice. Please support efforts to repeal this sanctioned discrimination.
