Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Would Support Repeal of "'Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

Frigid ice queen and gay-hater Elaine Donnelly will be writhing on the floor and foaming at the mouth at this news being reported by the Washington Blade. Never mind that Donnelly has no military experience and is basically a self-styled Christianist "expert" who pretends to be a credible source as opposed to someone with a real military background like Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Her entire agenda and that of her anti-gay allies is to keep gays denigrated and treated as less than equal citizens. Goodness knows, if gays are treated as equals under the law, the Christianists might just have a more difficult time selling their agenda of hate and discrimination. Here are highlights from the Blade:

Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told cadets graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Sunday that should Congress repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the military would respect it, according to a press release from the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. "['Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell'] is a law, and we follow it. Should the law change, the military will carry that out too," Mullen said. Mullen told the graduates that Congress and not the military is responsible for the policy.

“Admiral Mullen is to be applauded for his willingness to take part in an open national conversation about this issue, and for his open-minded approach to working with Congress as they consider the future of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’” said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director for SLDN.
