    The Hidden Tragedy In Another "Don't Ask-Tell" Charade'


The Broward Log Cabin Club of Florida supports the work of Log Cabin
Republicans in DC who, like the ACLU, Lambda Legal Defense Fund,
Servicemembers Legal Defense Fund, National GLB Veterans of America, The
American Federation of Veterans and a string of other organizations
comprehend the real consequential long-term pain of Representative Dornan's
January '96 HIV provision in the military defense budget bill. It takes
that attachment and walks it through to its rightful conclusion which, in
essence, is a denial of equality and basic human compassion.

Allegedly Dornan, a devout Evangelical Irish-Catholic and veteran, has
never really comprehended the full sting of religious persecution and what
it can do to a society. In his lengthy robust rhetoric it appears he does
not understand the full suffering of a devastated early Roman Catholic
Ireland as man forgets that "We Are All God's Children" and surplants that
conviction with intolerance and subliminal distain that eventually seeks a
visible surface in abuse, pain and violence.

We abhor the cover-up travesty of lost women and men that are the jailed
and interrogated victims of the military witch-hunt. Once proud patriotic
Americans subsequently rejected by family, friends and church by a stroke
of a President's pen and subliminally implanted revenge achieved through
the circulation of the video the "Gay Agenda" and the timely withholding of
the Rand Report.

Devistated, they become the forgotten ones. They are abandoned to the road
of alleged survival finding their way on the streets of abuse and human
devastation.

This added legislation only affords another nail into the wall of human
rejection by individuals who are blinded to their intolerance, lack of
education and comprehensive understanding.

May the victims of the "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" witch-hunt, those who have
suffered through the Agent-Orange cover-up and those who face ridicule
within the context of the Desert-Storm Syndrome never be ignored through
indifference and over-confidence in the agenda of a misguided leadership be
it political, social, religious or otherwise.

The Dornan rider must be rejected and subsequently repealed by all who are
willing in outreach and cooperation, fully understanding of truthful
purpose and sincerely compassionate for their brothers and sisters in need.
