>>> It was a step in that direction
Then how is removing it considered another step in the same direction? That’s my question.
Unless the repeal specifically forbids the observance or enforcement of anti-sodomy law in the USMCJ, this repeal is a step backwards for gays... and I don’t get it.
Seems more to me like this whole DADT repeal is more about re-writing the Clinton legacy... making it look like his policy was more anti-gay than pro-gay by repealing it.
Either that, or it establishes a basis upon which Obama can effectively campaign against Clinton as anti-gay.
Either way, I still don’t understand how this repeal is pro-gay.
Because now they will have their lawyers suing people for 'hate speech'/discrimination and out of court settlements, special treatment and extortion will be the norm. Not to mention the anti-American anti-military agenda of the militant guy lobby celebrating as this causes havoc in the ranks.
