Judge orders military to stop enforcing 'don't ask, don't tell'

The military is being sued on the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.  A federal judge is attempting to put and end to the policy and the ban on openly gays. 

U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips' permanent worldwide injunction -- praised by gay rights organizations -- orders the military "immediately to suspend and discontinue any investigation, or discharge, separation, or other proceeding, that may have been commenced" under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. 

The judge, a Clinton appointee based in the Central District of California, previously ruled that the policy regarding gays serving in the military violated service members' Fifth Amendment rights to due process and freedom of speech, but had delayed issuing the injunction. 

People who want to join the military shouldn't be forced to hide who they are. If they pass basic training and all the requirements to join the military then their sexuality shouldn't make a difference.
