Thank God for Obama's gay pride month proclamation, calling "upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists."
Except for the fine print:
and ending the existing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security.
"In a why that"? Yeah, that looks like an escape clause to me. I've worried about this aloud, already.
Let's just hope it is posturing, because there are a dozen ways to water-down a full repeal of DADT.
Bad posturing, that is. Afterall, since when were civil rights the province of 'national security', except in the most ignominious of triangulations?
