In remarks that President Bush made during a speech last week in Pennsylvania, it would appear that he would support the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy which restricts the right of gay service members to openly declare themselves as homosexual. In expressing his support of the Federal Marriage Ammendment, the President said:
"What they do in the privacy of their house, consenting adults should be able to do...This is America. It's a free society."
If that is the case, then what logical rationale is there for requiring gay service members to conceal their sexual identity? This is particularly the case after the Texas v. Lawrence.
