op-ed on Gays in Military....

My personal feelings is that the government shouldn't discriminate because of sexual preference. A lot of people want to bring God into the equation, which is fine for a theological debate; but when it comes to national security it should be a strict don't ask don't tell policy (theologically speaking, not sexually speaking). Everyone has a right to their own theological interpretation of morality, but one should not be allowed to needlessly (and in this case to the detriment of national security) discriminate against fellow citizens. Earlier this week there was a great op-ed in the Washington Post on this issue: Bigotry that hurts our Military
