Don't Tell
As A Right
The fifth
amendment of our constitution gives us the right to "not
incriminate" ourselves. We can't be forced into saying
we did something wrong or illegal and therefore be subject to
state sanctions like fines and imprisonment.
A
Clinton-like compromise was reached to let Bill Clinton
partially keep a campaign promise; the policy was no one can
ask if you are gay (e.g., during recruiting) and you are
advised not to "tell." The "Don't
Tell" part of Clinton's policy is actually saying, hey -
use your rights!
