Tony Clayton Powell on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Joe Lieberman is supporting a repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t tell. Good! I’ve been a long time supporter of repealing D.A.D.T. First of all, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell sounds stupid.  President Clinton passed on my suggested name for the policy; STFU. It stands for shut the ……well you know what it stands for.
As a retired veteran…of the Eagle Scouts, I’m pretty sure that I’ve served along side some gay men, like our scout leader Mr. Gerard.  I suspected Mr. Gerard might have been gay but never asked. He was a great scout leader. He taught us many valuable skills and life lessons, like how to sew our patches on our uniforms. He would often tell us how fierce and fabulous the patches looked on our uniforms. That built our self –esteem. He also taught us how to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together. He said he practiced that technique with our other Scout leader Mr. Bruce, in their tent, the night before. I don’t think our scout leader Mr. Gerard was gay, but his boyfriend Mr. Bruce definitely was. They were great leaders and great teachers. It’s naïve to believe that gay men and women haven’t been risking their lives and serving our country with distinction. Have you ever been to an Army / Navy game? There are a whole lot of grunts and seamen in there. They all end up in a pile. When somebody scores, a canon goes off. It couldn’t be gayer if Fosse choreographed it.
