DADT Done!
Photo via Lady Gaga - Flashback to September 16, 2010... A message from Lady Gaga to the Senate Quite shocked after talking to a friend today on the phone who was confused when I told her newest news on DADT. I sent her a link to Ontop Magazine with hope that would break it down for her but also inclued the NYTimes headline, "Senate Ends Military Ban on Gays Serving Openly". I am so thankful for the leaders of SLDN - the policy organization dedicated to ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I have been most impressed with with their twitter campaign of Freedom to Serve!
