Lady Gaga Speaks Out About Don't Ask Don't Tell

Grammy award winning singer, Lady GaGa spoke about the don't ask don't tell policy in our military this Monday on the eve of a Senate race in Portland, Maine. She came with Military, Air force, and Marine veterans who were discharged because of the policy. She proposed that instead of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to have "If you don't like it, go home."
They were trying to get Republican Senators to vote to repeal  the policy. Senator Susan Collins has already voted to repeal it, but Senator Olympia Snowe is still undecided.



I think that this is a good idea. I don't think that it's right to keep someone from fighting for their country just because of their sexual orientation. Why is there so much hate towards gay people? It just doesn't make sense to me, I understand if someone is turned down to fight if they were sick or unable to perform necessary tasks in the military but gay people aren't sick and they are able.
Repeal Don't ask. Don't tell!
