first baby step towards ending DADT

Congress moves to end ban on gays in military

Of course, we still have a long way to go since Congress moves painfully slowly, and of course, the repugs are freaking out and revelling in their bigotry, but at least we are finally - finally - starting to move in the right direction.

Hard to imagine what this country would be like if we actually had liberals in positions of power. This shit would have been done ages ago, along with many other important changes. Unfortunately, even a right-of-center moderate like Obama is reviled as a "far-left liberal", so I don't see this ever happening in my lifetime...
