Y'all, this even trumps the Zac Efron present - Don't Ask Don't Tell has been repealed!! I will say I'm very impressed with my Illinois Senator Mark Kirk for putting aside party lines to do the right thing and being one of the Republican senators who voted to repeal the ban on gays openly serving in the military. Thanks, Sen. Kirk!
"It is the right thing to do. No longer will able men and women who want to serve and sacrifice for their country have to sacrifice their integrity to do so. We will be a better military as a result." -Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
Can we just stop and take a moment to heart on Adm. Mike Mullen? I seriously love that man.
The fight for civil rights continues, but at least this chapter of it is now over.
And now I will go have a big ugly cry of happiness. Excuse me.
