re: #429 WindUpBird

I got it, so new posters aren’t allowed to agree with each other. 9_9 And yes, I believe DADT will be a national shame. Not nearly as big a national shame as slavery, or internment, but it is still smearing a class of people and ruining their livelihood and harming the military’s readiness in the process. We are still backwards in this respect. We are still beholden to almost medieval fears of gay people, institutionalized in our government. Many of these people that were dismissed were critical parts of the military’s anti-terrorism infrastructure, like arabic translators.

Isn’t DOMA worse?
