The refusal to acknowledge it is why we are in the shape we are in.
DADT was just to allow people to serve with honor - until it wasnt.

Pretending that we dont have to get used to it - "the pendulum will swing the other way" sooner or later is why that pendulum never really seems to swing the other way.
If things are going to swing the other way, why didn't anything get done when the republicans finally had both houses, the white house, and the court?
Especially when they had spent the last 8 years campaigning that once they got control, things would be different?
Because there is no pendulum.

Totally agree, both political parties have a lack of fortitude and definitely are in it for themselves. The Hell with the rest of us, it's a shame we've come to this. I think most of us recognize it, but those in power do not; or they just don't want to at this point. It's kind of like a Catch 22, isn't it? All I know is that I'm just going to live my life the way I want at this moment. The only one I can depend on is myself.
