(CE) Troubled America

The US military policy doesn’t allow homosexuals to be open about their sexual orientation. In 1993 President Clinton created “Don’t ask and don’t tell” policy which allowed gays to enter the army if they kept it secret. Over 35,000 people lost their job because they were gay and recently a woman was kicked out of the army for it. Finally President Obama lifted the ban of gays from the army. I’m really glad that they are removing this ridiculous policy. I don’t see why the government and military made such a big deal over it either. We have so many more problems going around and this is something we should even have to deal with even before.

The policy prevented many people from continuing their occupation in the military. Why the government would not let people serve its country whether they are gay or not? Sexual orientation shouldn’t be such a big deal. So what people are gay are lesbian. This isn’t just a problem in the military it’s also a problem in society itself. Being openly gay shouldn’t be a problem in society but it still is. People are harassed and sometimes have disadvantages. I’m pretty sure even though people can be openly gay in the army they are still going to be harassed. Basically people can’t even be open about. There’s always going to be people who are fucked up and are against gays. It isn’t even just being gay. Society still has problems like racism, sexism and the rest of the bullshit that people continue to debate about. I wonder when the day will come when people will just stop making such big deals about race, sex, and sexual orientation.
