Paul Thomasson was discharged last summer after telling his commander he was
gay.
His attorney says that violates his free speech.
The Justice Department must defend "don't ask, don't tell," and it argues
Thomasson's free speech could infer he was engaging in homosexual acts -- which
would violate Navy policy.
Thomasson calls that inference "unrebuttable."
He's also fighting the ultra-conservative Family Research Council, which
argued against him-- but an entirely different argument.
