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.
