James Kirchik, a senior at Yale, has a solid piece in the gay newspaper The Washington Blade about the problems with law schools banning military recruiters for DADT. He argues that by setting up an unassailable position of opposition that forces gay men and straight men who don't want to be seen as homophobic to abhor the military, schools are not only stifling debate, but are also keeping good men and women out of the military. He states that:

"BY MAKING HOMOPHOBIA the reigning issue in the debate over military recruitment, gay activists have fostered a form of group-think that necessarily compels all gay people — and all straight people who do not want to be thought of as homophobes — to support their cause.

This tactic turns off many potential allies, who are equally supportive of gay rights and a strong national defense.

Sometimes issues affecting gay and lesbian Americans are more nuanced than morally absolutist activists would like them to be.

While I may find “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” to be unjust, it is more important that my straight peers have the opportunity to serve their country and defend the freedoms that gay activists have also fought so courageously to enshrine."
