DADT officially dead.

On Tuesday, the US military, in response to repeal legislation passed by US Congress, officially rid itself of a long-standing policy preventing openly gay men and women from serving in military. The policy was called Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Previously, if someone was outed, he/she would be given the boot. Now, men and women can serve in the military as openly gay. This is an absolutely massive victory for gay rights. This video was posted on Tuesday, and already has over 2,000,000 hits. I dare you to watch it and not get a little choked up:
