4th Quarter Post #4

Gay people are complaining about their not being allowed to serve openly in the military. Both the president and congress are reluctant to end the ban on homosexuals in the military. In 1993, Bill Clinton's "dont ask, dont tell" policy was placed on the military, after an unsuccessful attempt to overturn an existing ban on gay service members. This allows homosexuals to serve, as long as they are quiet about their sexuality and refrained from homosexual acts.
