I did this blog on the 'don't ask, don't tell' repeal policy that was stopped by the senate. The bill was stopped short by a heavy Republican vote against it. The final vote was 56-43 just four short of the 60 needed to overcome the Republican vote. A few Democrat party members said it was unconstitutional for the 'don't ask don't tell' policy was unconstitutional. Republicans argued that the Democrats were trying to use the policy that would give $725 billion in military spending to force through provisions with their political base before the November 2 elections.
I feel that it is unconstitutional to have that policy in place. If you are serving your country you should be able to express yourself with in limits. Though on the other hand I understand that the majority of the military is homophobic, and if every gay man and women was open about their sexuality it would cause tension. I do think overall that people should be able to express their sexuality at work, where ever it is.
