Don't Ask, Don't Tell

It is amazing what can be done when there are new things implemented. Ever heard the more we change the more we remain the same.

Recently there has been again a pledge of don’t ask don’t tell especially directed towards the gay men and women who want to enter the army. Of course, like anything in life there were negative comments, along with positive ones.

The straight persons seem to be worried about their privacy being taken away from them, in that they won’t be free to shower without being stared at, or simply walk without a shirt if they want to.

The gay people were worried that if they were allowed to ‘mingle and work’ with the straight men and women, how much verbal abuse they would have to subject themselves to.

The point is what happened to working together with a common goal: Why do we have to always bring our personal expressions to each other? Why is it so hard to just work towards a common goal, do what needs to be done and then part amicably?

Yes we are entitled to our thoughts, feelings, desires...but sometimes we need to support each other and just don’t ask, that way we won’t be offended by what is given as an answer.
