Don't Ask Don't Tell

It's a sad day in this country when what we have built this democracy on is not enforced.  "All Men Are Created Equal", I guess that's unless they're different.  This policy makes me sick; it is everything that is wrong with politics.  It forces gay soldiers to hide their lifestyle to keep their job.  How is this policy different than that of Hitler's?  There is plenty of research showing that there is a biological tie with homosexuality.  Being gay is no more of a choice than having blue eyes.  And even if it was a choice, who gives any of us the right to say that choice is wrong?  Is it wrong to be Catholic, Protestant, to dye your hair, wear colored contacts, to go to college or not go to college, to serve your country or to serve your fellow man?  It wasn't that long ago that we considered Blacks less human that Whites (by 1/3, to be exact).  How is this different?  How can we say we are a country based on freedom and democracy while we are violating the civil rights of others?  Who are we to tell another who they can love, marry, live with, adopt children with?  And if I hear one more person argue the point with the Bible I will scream.  Everyone chooses to use the Bible in whatever way they see fit.  Did you know that, besides homosexuality, the Bible also forbids sex with a woman during her period, planting two different types of seed in fields, wearing clothing that is made of more than one material, eat fruit from a tree you planted for three years, eating meat with any blood left in it, tattoos, shaving sideburns, consulting psychics, and actually says that priests can marry, but it must be to a virgin?  Look it up, it's in the book of Leviticus.
