The “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Act” was finally deemed unconstitutional. Lately, it seems that America has been making a lot of progress in the rights of minorities. For example, Obama was elected president. Now homosexuals can openly serve in the military.
Although we are making progress as a whole, there are still those who refuse acceptance of minorities such as African Americans and Homosexuals. Though it is now legal, I think that there will be many problems for homosexuals in the army. Unfortunately, bigots can be found everywhere and I’m sure that homosexuals won’t be treated equally to heterosexuals serving in the army.
Even though women are allowed to work, they still are treated like they are unequal to men. Women receive lower wages, and they have to work harder to achieve the same things. We still have a long way to go, but we are getting there slowly as we have shown with electing Obama and deeming acts, such as the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Act” unconstitutional. I hope we can continue to make more progress.
