1. And yes, I actually toasted it at midnight.
(Didn't think of mentioning it at the time though)

Anyone want to join me?

3. Well, shit.
I assumed this thread was about public nudity. Imagine my surprise when I left my house this mourning. I understand cops have a job to do, but the pointing and laughing just seems unprofessional to me.

I should have been more specific. My bad.

5. BIG promise kept. It's making me so happy seeing gay military men and women going on MSNBC
to come out publicly and to say how happy they are.

7. Here's why I love it;

The more we see GLBT persons operating professionally, effectively, and perfectly normally in the military, the more we slowly destroy the bullshit of the ignorant and hateful. Many people in the military have been unable, also, to live their own lives openly. We will see more and more people living openly, and demonstrating the normalcy of their lives.

More and more, the haters will be exposed to the fact that gay people are no different from them except for sexual orientation. (And maybe creativity, intellect, sense of humor.... but that's another matter)

13. It was funny because my son asked for a pink shirt this am.
I thought, 'Huh... I wonder if it has something to do with this?'

Turns out it was just the color the whole senior class was supposed to wear. But I told him about the end of DADT anyway. He was pleased and appreciated the coincidence.

20. Young people are hard-wired for openness.

... and your son sounds downright clairvoyant.

Cheers.

23. He's a really great kid.
Sometimes I wonder if I've exposed him to too much as he's grown, but the more I see how sophisticated he's turned out (so far), the more sure I am that I did ok.

Thanks. I'm stealing that smiley.

21. Why aren't there "hold his feet to the fire" people posting here...?
Not negative enough I guess. Thanks Mr. President...let's work hard on repealing DOMA.

22. Don't think about it. It's a good day.

It's great to know that for so many of our service men and women, every day from here on out will be better if only in some small way.
