DADT

Dec. 18, 2010   Today I am grateful for the repeal of DADT and the many activists who work tirelessly for peace, justice and human rights -- equal rights -- for everyone. I am grateful this historic measure will likely pave the way for further injustices to be corrected. I am imagining legal decisions based on reasoning that goes something like "If gay Americans can serve in the military and risk life and limb protecting the freedom most of us take for granted, then shouldn't they have the freedom to marry whomever they choose?" I hope it happens. I hope it happens soon. Today I am grateful that those who fight the good fight have struck a blow for equality. It's about time.
