The "Don't Ask Don't Tell" law, activates stereotypes and encourages discrimination. The law prohibited military officials from asking a recruit's sexual orientation, but threatened to release soldiers whose homosexual orientation was exposed. What stereotypical expectations did the military hold about a homosexual person's behavior in the military? And, while Judge Phillips issued injunction against the law, the author writes that "the government is expected to appeal the injunction to the Court of Appeals...". Although she didn't state any evidence to that effect, she may have had evidence that suggested it. One could question however, whether that statement was derived from information that she received or her own determination of what steps she stereotypically assumed the government might take. She also added quotes from law's proponents that represents strong misconceptions and judgments that the law's supporters have toward gays and particularly, gays in the military.
