The gay community is the most successful, hardest working one in this country, has been, for many years. They deserve all the credit in the world.
Absent friends and present company. :toast:

Sometimes I like to see how the propaganda machine handles it.
Seems rather low-key.

Congratulations to the gay rights community for their determined efforts to end discrimination in all its forms in our country.
This is a small step, but a meaningful step. Ending DADT (or more accurately, paving the way to ending DADT) is a down payment on everything else we still need to do to have true equality--marriage equality, an end to workplace discrimination, etc.
