It's What's New in the Gay and Lesbian Arena

Gays and the Military

United States policy toward gays in the military is humiliating and an embarrassment to the nation. Where else are people forced to closet themselves in a veil of secrecy - and risk losing their livelihood and maybe even their lives - if they admit that they are gay? Military housing is non-existent for gays, health benefits are not an option, and harassment and humiliation are an everyday occurrence and is even encouraged by some of those in command.

While all of this is horrendous of itself, this slap in the face is delivered after our young men and women vow to give their lives to protect our country. The message is loud and clear: "We will allow you to pour out your blood on our chosen battlefields as long as you don't admit to being gay. If you do, your dedication and sacrifice are worth nothing and you will be treated like pond scum and sent on the next train home."

Despite all of this treatment, gays and lesbians still sign up in remarkable numbers. And it is not only gays that get slighted by the anti-gay atmosphere in today's military. Even heterosexual women who fail to respond to advances from male service members have become the target of harassment - because, afterall, why wouldn't a woman want to sleep with a man unless she's a lesbian? Or so they ignorantly believe.

This reasoning and increasingly oppressive atmosphere has paved the way for an astounding number of service men and women to be discharged from the military - and I'm not talking about those responsible for the harassment! The people discharged are believed to be gays and lesbians that have violated the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Under this law (that was meant to help gays serve in the military) superiors discharge members who spill the beans or represent themselves to be gay.

All of these discharges take an amazing toll on the military. In fact, more than 10,000 service men and women were discharged from the military by the year 2003 under this policy, just nine years after it was implemented. Among these discharges have been linguists fluent in languages such as Arabic, Korean, and Farsi, translators sorely needed for the supposed war on terror.
