Prior to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy being implemented, the US Military could ask servicemen and women outright if they are gay and kick them out for it as the military services have had a long-standing policy of not allowing gay men and women to serve as soldiers.

Since the enactment of DADT, the government would no longer "ask" recruits if they were gay, but gays may only serve if they do not "tell" or keep their sexual orientation private and do not engage in homosexual activity.

Should you tell your friend that the boy she likes hugged you?

yes, i think you should tell her that he hugged you because its not like he kissed you, but before you do tell her , you might want to tell him to not hug you .. but dont tell him why because your friend will not be happy if you tell him if its a secret ... just tell him because you dont like it or its uncomfortable or maybe because you like someone else and you dont want them seeing another boy hugging you...but be careful how you say it .. do not say it as its funny or in a happy way just tell her as if your just being a friend and tell her why you are telling her too...it will help..

How do you deal with a friend you dislike. Especially when there not really mean or rude.?

Well I dont know why you dont like them if they arent mean or anything. So here is my suggestion: go right out and tell her/him: Im sorry I dont want to be your friend anymore. and if they ask why, tell them why. and this is important: PLAN THE CONVERSATION BEFORE IT HAPPENS! so like if she asks you why and you cant find words for it or just dont know, think about it before you tell her/him. thats what i did with my friend, who now is my worst enemy. =) I hope this helps you.
