Don't Ask Don't Tell Debate - Belfair, WA

Soldiers, sailors live in close quarters. We dont mix male/females berthing together. We now going to separate gay/non-gays? To avoid sexual contact. There is only so much room on a ship. I would not want to be next to a "gay" when the bullets fly. I dont want their blood and guts splashing their pathogens on me. They can bleed out for all I care. Why would I want to expose my spouse to the possibility of AIDS. DADT is much better. If you dont know someones sexuality you'd be more inclined to render aid - first aid to a fellow service member.

People are people and deserve the same rights as everyone else. We need to stop homophobia it's toxic, ridiculous and cruel and promotes hate.
