This week’s question<\/a> on the Washington Post’s <\/i>On Faith section asks: “Top U.S. defense
\nofficials say they will repeal the decades-old ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy, which requires gay soldiers to keep their sexual orientation
\nsecret. Homosexuality is often cast as a religious issue. Should religious
\nviews be a factor in military decisions? Should the U.S. military repeal its
\n‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy?”<\/p>\n

All but one answer indicates strong support for repealing
\nthis discriminatory policy, which the Reform Movement has long opposed. The
\nresponses – from leaders of various faith communities – are heartening and
\nhopeful. Read a few excerpts after the jump, click through to read full responses, and use our easy action alert system to send a pre-written letter to your members of Congress<\/a> asking them to support repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
