“Gay rights: Don’t ask, don’t think”
Frank Turek, a former ROTC instructor and legal officer in the United States Navy, writes at One News Now: “Sorry Admiral . . . I helped deny entrance to potential recruits and prosecuted existing service people for all sorts of behaviors that were incompatible with unit cohesion and military readiness . . . yet I never once saw anyone excused for their behavior by claiming that’s who they are . . . More could be said, but I want to zero in on the fatal flaw in most gay-rights causes, and the one the Admiral repeated. It is the failure to distinguish between desires and behavior . . . Claiming you ‘are’ your sexual desires is a case of don’t ask, don’t think.”
