Check out online articles about the effect on morale of gays in the military. Also look up how gays in the military affects the military image.

Basically, find the reasons why the military says that admitting homosexuality is illegal... why it is illegal.

Then pick your side.

SLDN: Don't Ask, Don't Tell / Lesbian & Gay Military Resources
"SLDN's Strategic Plan to Lift the Ban

Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), the nation’s sole legal aid and advocacy organization assisting military members harmed by 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,' unveiled a five-year strategic plan to repeal the military’s gay ban through grassroots organizing, stepped up efforts to educate the public and key decision makers and increased policy advocacy. The plan coincides with the 10th anniversary of 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,' and is SLDN’s first public blueprint of its strategy for lifting the ban.
In unveiling the plan, SLDN also announced its first policy staff member and re-launched its web site, SLDN: Don't Ask, Don't Tell / Lesbian & Gay Military Resources, to focus on providing key components of a national grassroots campaign for repealing 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.' SLDN will also add future staff to grow its advocacy, grassroots, education and research capabilities, all focused on lifting the ban."

This is your assignment.

You decide your arguments and reasons.

You need to find your own research.
