...health care agencies. The sexuality of the person who contracts it ought to be irrelevant to the discussion of a search for a cure. But it was precisely because it was not irrelevant in the minds of legislators, that it has taken so long for the government to respond to the epidemic proportions of this disease. Groups like ACT-UP were formed to compel our elected officials, through radical activism, to take action on AIDS...
What is explicit in "don't ask, don't tell" is that the danger of homosexuality lies, somehow, in the aspect of public acknowledgment. The concern seems to be that fellow soldiers will respond negatively to knowing that they are training and living in intimate environments with gay men. As Thomasson expressed in his appeal, the foundation of the policy is "the expected adverse reaction that some heterosexual listeners may have" to discovering the homosexuality of members of the armed services.

Tragically, the U.S. Justice Department was slow to respond to the threat. But if all these federal agencies knew of the drug trade in the '80s, why didn't they expose and stop it? The drug trade posed a far greater threat to the U.S. than the leftist Sandinista government ever did. Despite recent CIA and Justice Department vows...
