Does homophobia in the military TRULY make the world a safer place?
In 1993, President Clinton sought to end a costly 200-year-old anti-gay witch-hunt in the military. Instead, Congress responded with the severely compromised "Don't Act / Don't Tell" policy, officially joining Russia and China in a comprehensive ban on homosexuality in the armed forces — transforming a military tradition of homophobia into federal law.
Despite DA/DT's confusing legalistic assurances that the military will not pry into private lives, reports of anti-gay harassment increased by sevenfold between 1995 and 1999; meanwhile, the witch-hunts persist: The Department of Defense presently discharges an average of two servicemembers per day.

Let the facts speak for themselves.
"We do not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate others who do," states THE WEST POINT HONOR CODE. Yet all U.S. military academies REQUIRE lesbian, gay, and bisexual recruits to lie about their sexual orientation (unlike heterosexual peers).
"One of the most critical elements in combat capability is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust among individual service members," reads the federal statute commonly referred to as "DON'T ASK / DON'T TELL."
"Fuck unit cohesion. I don't care about that," says sociologist CHARLES MOSKOS, principal author of the statute. Of gay-straight bunkhouses he says, "Those are the conditions of concentration camps." (Lingua Franca, p. 76, 10/2000)
"You should have just stayed in your own freakin homo world, with your own kind, at least then youd be somewhat safe, HERE YOUR NOT," writes an ANONYMOUS male petty officer whose sexual advances were refused by a Navy apprentice named Lori S. Shortly after receiving the threat, Lori S. was discharged. (Uniform Discrimination, Human Rights Watch)
"The 'don't ask, don't tell' policy provides sexual harassers with a tool to threaten women who decline their sexual overtures," concludes the HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH in the same 2003 report, noting that DA/DT has disproportionately affected women due to "lesbian-baiting" — the intersection of homophobia and sexual harassment.
"It's like, the policy is there to protect you from the other soldiers who'd want to hurt you, see?" explains a MILITARY RECRUITER at 157 Chambers Street in Manhattan, when asked why federal law criminalizes gays instead of gay-bashers. (Radical Homosexual Agenda, 4/14/2006)
