Default Pentagon: No Plans To End Military Gay Ban

By On Top Magazine Staff
Published: May 19, 2009



The Pentagon said today that it has no plans to repeal the military gay ban that prohibits open service by gay and lesbian soldiers.

Pentagon Spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters Tuesday that repeal was not being actively pursued.

The ban, known as “don't ask, don't tell,” prescribes discharge from the military for gay and lesbian service members who do not remain closeted or celibate.

Anybody willing to fight for their country, be it gay or straight, black or white rich or poor should be allowed to do so.

I bet theres already thousands of gays in there anyway.

What's "open service" in the military?


So people can be openly gay in the military if they are in "closed service" or something? Just seems a little confusing to me.

They need to sort out the soldiers who terrorise people just for ''kicks'' or the one's that throw puppies off cliffs, before they condemn gay people from being out.

I can almost picture the slogans from WWII being re-released; YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU ..[small print] but not gays"

If you're willing to fight for your country, put yourself into the position of being kidnapped and barbarically decapitated or bombed .. then it's the last thing that should be considered taboo.

What if someone does ask; even though it's called ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and those asked do tell .. who's at fault if they get beaten up?

Lol, I'd tell everybody if I was in the army, any shit given, I'd cut their throat while they slept. *Self defense.*

Ooooooooooooooh God forbid if a gay man or woman is behind the wheel of a tank . I don't see what the big deal is. I have met a lot of soldier's (being that I live in the city that host's the world's largest Military installation) and I would be willing to bet that atleast 10% of them are very gay . 20% just don't know they're gay yet (these are just the men I'm talking about). The female soldier's that are gay are a little harder to spot. They try to look and act like their male counter parts so this make's it a little tough to distinguish the straights from the gays. If I were a betting person I would say that the average gay person is probably a little tougher than the average straight person. The reason I would say this is because of all the ridicule and anguish that straights ( homophobes ) have put them through. I say give them a rifle and stfu about it . Wasn't President Hoover gay? He was the commander in chief right?

P.S. I just wouldn't want to be locked in a tank with a gay man for an extended length of time. We would fight like husband and wife all the time . j/k btw .

A person who's willing to risk their lives in defending our country should be treated with respect regardless of who they prefer sexually. That policy is ridiculous.

I think it should be over and done with.

And it's too easy for people to resist a draft by crying h0mo.

I never actually thought of it like that.
