Organizations representing 40 million people have joined together to urge the U.S. Senators not to repeal Section 654, Title 10, U.S.C. (1993), which is usually mislabeled by the subsequent Executive policy known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT).

In a letter to every U.S. Senator, the organizations state that an attempt to repeal the law that prohibits open homosexuality in the military during the lame duck session is illegitimate and untimely. With the Pentagon’s study having only been released on November 30, there has not been enough time to assess the results. In the recently released survey, only six percent stated they will positively recommend service to others after repeal (Question 80). A mere five percent believed the repeal would positively boost morale (Question 73). But 91 percent feel negative or mixed opinions regarding open homosexuality’s impact on combat performance and its effect on units’ performance as a whole (Questions 66 and 45).

The letter states: “We are engaged in a war on many fronts. Our troops are in harm’s way in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. This is no time to experiment with social engineering of the military.” The letter goes on to state that “the consequences of repealing DADT will no doubt result in service members leaving the military or refusing to join. We cannot afford attrition or demoralization of our military in light of the wars we are facing in the Middle East, not to mention the looming threat of North Korea.”
