Don't take that the wrong way. In essence, I support the notion to repeal the aforementioned mandate sanctioned way back in 1993 by President Clinton which was formed as a step towards systematic acceptance of LGBT's in the Armed Forces.
It was one of the items brought up during the State of the Union address by President Barack Obama. I said I wasn't going to do a review of the actual address, as every Tom, Dick and Harry has their say in it, so I decided to touch on some of the issues that were roused up.
The repeal is an even better way to say "Hey we accept you as the humans that you are, and your right to serve openly in the army with or without your sexual orientation disclosed"
I personally don't see the big deal in why the repeal should not be granted, just as long as LGBT community and everyone else respect each other's rights and laws.
On a side note...it's kinda like relationships that don't work out with that whole don't ask don't tell B.S. You know, you never get an answer if you weren't 'asked' for it. So how would one know what to ask for without potentially crossing a line for asking? Food for thought, perhaps for a more in depth blog on that topic, on a later date.
Meanwhile, you can find the article on hopes for a repeal at the link here.
