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.

Oh, The Closets You'll Know!
On Graduation Day in May of 2006, the Radical Homosexual Agenda traveled to Highland Falls, New York, in order to deliver the following address to gay, lesbian, and bisexual cadets at West Point.
Congratulations!
You're STILL gay!
Four years in the closet,
Five more on the way!
You have dread in your head.
You have shame deep inside.
Who cares about marriage
when the gun is your bride?
With no student loans, you're one lucky grad!
Be All You Can Be ... But Lie Just a Tad.
Yes, on you will go
though deceit is your fate.
On you will go
though THEY'RE "openly" straight.
On you will go
though the Fag Bashers bash!
Onward up many
a frightening ladder,
though lesbians and gays?
YOU'RE bad and badder!
You'll fondle your trigger — perhaps in Iran.
As you aim, you might say, "Does this make me a man?"
With your head full of dread and your heart full of shame,
think of bin Laden; not Bush — or the ways they're the same.
No, don't ask and don't tell!
But clearly it's true:
Osama and Dubya —
Two men who hate YOU.
Do Tell!
