Breaking: Senate Votes to Overturn the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Military Gay Ban

MAJOR! This is amazing and long overdue (I’m not even gonna engage in any pause or no homo-related juvenilia for anything I write here – this is just the right thing to have done, period!)

Am I being too cynical if I say that, while this is great and shows the president and Democrats can still get progressive legislation passed, that maybe this was allowed to slide by the GOP because they knew it was inevitable that it was going to happen anyway eventually but now they can say something like, “Look the president and left are more concerned with ‘trivial’ issues like gays serving in the military than ‘real’ issues like turning around the economy and creating jobs to get people back to work”? Sorry, my mind often tends to that kind of glass half empty thinking….

Hit the jump for an ABC Action news report about President Obama signing the law ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the policy that prevented gay people from openly serving in the military.

  7. Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
    I must say you have done a great job with this. In addition, the
    blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog!

    make it important. More people need to look at this and understand this side of the story.
    It’s surprising you aren’t more popular since you most certainly have the gift.
