DADT Officially History.

6 Comments

Today, September 20, 2011, marks the end of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy, which had banned lesbian, gay, and bisexual men and women from serving openly in our armed services. President Obama, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs certified the repeal two months ago as per the provisions of the legislation repealing DADT, and now that the waiting period is over, the law is officially history.

    All those who were discharged for no other reason for just being Gay or Lesbian should be reinstated as soon as possible if they so desire.

    Finally! Bad policy, truly UN-American. Glad it is gone!

    Saw this on reddit this morning. Congrats to all those who can now serve openly w/o fear of being booted out of the armed forces.
