Don't Ask Don't Tell Repealed

[Twilight Wolf]

In case you've missed the news, Don't Ask Don't Tell has been repealed officially, as Obama has signed the repeal into law. What does everyone think? A step forward for the US, or will this ultimately hurt the strength of the US Military and hurt combat unit cohesiveness?

My thoughts: Ultimately this is a step forward for the US. There were times when it was thought allowing african americans into the US Military would hurt unit cohesiveness. Fortunately, times change and society grows out of its biases.

Also I enjoy that with this and the daily show, It's god damn proven that mccain is one of the biggest homophobes in congress.

I think it's good for the military.  More people will sign up to join

No it won't, at least not many, thats not the point, it's that gay people in the military already aren't going to be in constant fear of losing their job or being simply because of who they choose to love.

WOOO times are a changin'!!  I can't stand another argument that gays shouldn't be allowed into the military because they're all weak and girly.

Yeah, I mean come on, we only need to ban the twinks and the lipstick lesbians.
