Don't ask don't tell

So I was listening to the Christian radio station the other day and people were calling in about their opinion on Obama eliminating the Don't ask don't tell policy. A lot of people were out raged about Obama's decision. Some thought that it was allowing people to think that it is alright to be homosexual. Many thought that it was an abomination and going against the will of God. A few thought that hetersexuals would feel uncomfortable about their good friends suddenly "coming out the closet." Quite frankly I totally disagree with these opinions.

I think that it is completely absurd to think that just because a policy has been changed, people are going to suddenly changed their views about sexuality. People's moral and religious views do not change over one policy. One prime example that I can think of is that although Christians were prosecuted in biblical days, they did not stop believing in Christ.

I also believe that people forget that they are not God, so they can not determine what is and isn't an abomination. The bible does state that it is an abomination for a man to lay with another man as a woman, but it does not say that that it is an abomination for men to love other men; nor does it say that it is an abomination to treat homosexuals equal to heterosexuals. If these were true Christians that were calling in on the radio, then they would  know that Jesus said "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone." No one has the right to cast the first stone against, or judge, homosexuals, because even if Christians believe that the lifestyle of homosexuals is sinful, no human is without sin. Don't judge lest thou be judged because we've all fallen short. God wants us to love one another and to leave the judging to Him.

I also feel that African Americans are hippocrates if they feel that it is alright to discriminate against any group of people because we have been discriminated for centuries and our ancestors faught for people of today to have equal rights. I know the word hippocrate is harsh, but even Jesus said to beware of hippocrates and I just call it like I see it.

Lastly, to think that heterosexuals would be uncomfortable with their good friends to suddenly come out of the closet just does not make any sense. Most homosexuals have already came out to there good friends because a true friend would not care what their sexual preferences are just because there is a policy against it.

My opinion about Obama eliminating the Don't ask don't tell policy is that it is about time. Changes like this helps us see brighter days.
