It's about time and long long overdue. Of course, in the spirit of being like unto the spirit of Christ, there are some military chaplains who have a problem with it. Because allowing gays to serve openly is to openly tolerate sin in the ranks. The absurdity of that being of course, that prior to DADT being instituted those who were suspected of being gay were hunted by military authorities, as it were. Surpise inspections early in the morning, hoping to catch gay enlisted in bed with each other, etc...
Then DADT became policy, so all that stopped. Yet gays still had to serve in hiding, they couldn't bring their lover to any functions wherein military couples would gather, they couldn't hold hands when off duty. They couldn't speak about their lover honestly, unless they substituted the applicable pronoun with a false one in order to sound like they were talking about a straight relationship.
And yet all the while, prior to the institution of DADT unto now, from the inception of our military, gays have served and died honoring their commitment to defense of the country and her allies. And now these alleged emissaries of god take umbrage to that because those that have always been there, "sinning" in silence are finally able to be free of the closet a government that boasts to represent freedom and liberty for all, built especially for homosexuals in uniform. You can die for your country, just as long as you hide who you love from everyone watching.
"Amen!" to repeal of DADT. And a prompt, " Don't let the door hit ya where your tyrant lord split ya!" to the bigot Bible thumpers in uniform. Get the fuck out, if you can't accept freedom and equality in the ranks. Because if it's a matter of taking umbrage to sin, then the 6th commandment broken by policy, should insure there are no Chaplains holding to such a moral objection to sin as they do now about repeal of DADT, serving in any branch in the military.
