Not much else to add.

It's not going into effect just yet, they're waiting for the report on military and their families' views on the change in policy, which is to come out in December, but it's a step in the right direction.

It's about damn time. Blatant prejudice like that in this country is, frankly, a little embarrassing.

ITT, people who have no idea what DADT is.

DADT was the policy that said "It's nobody's business who's gay or straight, but if you are gay, keep it to yourself while you're in or you're in trouble." It's not like the military was fine with homosexuality until 1993.

Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice:

Quote :
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.

(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Oh yeah, that means that if you're straight, nothing but missionary for you either.

Hate to throw water on the party, but it's only step one.

The House has voted to repeal it. The Senate, however, is pretty much the same bunch of dysfunctional whiners they've been since what feels like time immemorial.

Not only is the Republican leadership threatening a filibuster, several conservative Democrats like Senator Jim Webb of Virginia are saying that they won't sign off on it if it's bundled into the defense authorization bill.

And even if it is repealed it wouldn't take effect until December (which is conveniently after mid-term elections).
