Back in February of 2010 Obama wanted to stop the military policy "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", which forbids gay men and women the right to serve in the military. Top officials of the Department of Defense and Admiral Mike Mullen also agree with Obama and try to find a way to demolish this law. "As of September 20, service members will no longer be forced to hide who they are in order to serve their country," Obama stated. Trying to ban this law is an example of Equal protection because Obama and others are trying to give everyone the same right to fight in the military. In relation to Alyssa's post everyone is created equally so everyone should be able to have the right to want to serve there country no matter if they are gay or straight.
