On one side I'm happy that this bigoted law as been repealed and is one step towards equal rights, for Gay men and women. But based on behavior in the states (and some of comments in this thread) over the last few years, i don't think the people are ready to except Homosexuals for who they are, they aren't ready to co-exist with homosexuals. Isn't that reason DADT was enacted in the first place? To allow to Gay men and women to service in the Army, without causing a shit storm of problems. I expect to see a lot of complication, instead of solving the problem. Well, if a gay servicemember is worried about the discrimination they may bring upon themselves to remain closeted in the military, then they can do so, and it's their choice. It shouldn't be up to the military to tell them that they have to hide themselves and who they are for their own good or for the good of the bigoted assholes around them. The whole idea of DADT is that it should be the job of gay people to accommodate the homophobes in the military. People who want to repeal DADT are generally of the opinion that it should be the homophobes' job to get the fuck over it. | ||
