DADT is dead #21 -- officially and at last !!

Today, Tuesday, September 20, 2011 marks the official end of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Astonishingly, some Republicans in Congress are still demagogue-ing the issue, claiming that it will undermine military effectiveness, blah blah blah.

Not so. Pentagon Press Secretary Georgie Little issued this statement concerning military preparedness for the end of DADT:

"No one should be left with the impression that we are unprepared. We are prepared for repeal." He added that 97% of military personnel have completed the training program for accepting and integrating gay men and women into their military units.

Leon Panetta, Secretary of Defense, is to hold a new conference about it on Tuesday.

At the stroke of midnight, U. S. Navy Lieutenant Gary Ross married his partner in a wedding ceremony in Vermont.

The end of DADT has been a long time coming . . . but BLTN.*
