I’m sharing this because as a religious person, I feel that I can be helpful in ending DADT, by clearly differentiating between my BELIEFS, and GOVERNMENT ACTION:

********************

Dear Senator Schumer:

Isn’t it time we stopped ejecting men and women from the military just because they are gay? Don’t our honorable service men and women deserve to have durable relief from discrimination?

I’m a religious person who does not believe that homosexual acts are appropriate or moral. That said, I also do not believe my personal faith is a guideline for military code of conduct. Homosexuality is not a crime, and we need to stop treating it as such.

I would like to recommend a Strengthen our Military Act of 2009 that:

Stipulates: REPEAL of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell as policy

Provides: for equal protection under the law of homosexual couples

Requires: the same moral strictures of fraternization, promiscuity, etc, for ALL couples, straight or gay, and

Makes exception: For deployment into sensitive areas of actively gay COUPLES…. for instance, in Islamic countries where that may pose a danger to the couple and their unit to be practicing homosexuality openly, such couples may be redeployed.

This seems like a common sense approach, and I would urge you, Senator, to introduce legislation to the Senate that accomplishes this. President Obama has repeatedly stated his willingness to overturn DADT, but doing so requires an act of congress. Please act.

Sincerely,
ME
