Watching the vote on DADT, in tears...
I am a 45 year old straight man...I am thrilled for the people who were discriminated against, I am thrilled the progressive majority (and others) decided to bring about PROGRESS.
May God bless President Obama and our leadership...
What you call progress is needless destruction. Leftists hate America and the military, I would wonder at your tears of joy if I didn't already know why you cheer for this.

3. I'm watching too
It's a historic day and puts us in line with the rest of the developed world.
The rest of the developed world? A collected pack of fools who, outside of the UK, have armed forces that would be in trouble against a troop of determined boy scouts. Is that what you want, an armed forces that are so weak that you have no choice but to acceed to the demands of whatever barbarian happens to show up at your gates this week?

7. Straight female here.
So moved I've posted on my facebook page - something I seldom even sign on to read.
It feels like all of DU is watching this vote together today. What a great day.
The only reason I don't want you to see the ultimate outcome of what your side has done is that it will happen to my family as well. It's a damn shame what has been done.

8. me too- what a long time coming.
So glad it's finally been done away with.
Yes you will get what you want. An officer corp that in a generation or so is rabidly pro-gay. A military that is even more hamstrung and tied up on bullshit that has jack nothing to do with winning a war than it is now.

10. iI'm there with you..
I am a 60 year old straight woman, and am absolutely thrilled that one more discriminatory barrier has been eliminated in this country! Congratulaqtions to all those who have been pushing for this! IT IS DONE!!!!!!
Yes, screw things like a safe blood supply for our troops. What is truly important is that you got a political victory that will weaken our military.

13. Yes
When I made my numerous calls to my congress critters about repealing DADT, I told them that I wasn't gay, I didn't have a dog in the fight other than the belief that all of our service members deserved to be treated with respect and dignity. They laced up their boots every damn day for their country, the least that we could do for them is to acknowledge their existence and except & respect them for who they were.
Yes, leftist, you did have a dog in this fight. You would see an America prostrated before her enemies. You are one step closer. Congratulations.
