Last week the U.S. Senate voted against the Defense Department’s recommendation to repeal the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, which requires gays and lesbians in the military to keep their sexual orientation secret or face discharge.
To me, the most curious thing about the vote was that almost every Republican voted against repeal while the Democrats were equally united behind Sec. Gates.
How did this become a partisan issue? What is there in Republican principles that prompts GOP office holders to oppose Sec. Gates on the issue; why are the Democrats so solidly…
So why is sex a partisan issue?
