    As of 12:01 am, the repeal of the discriminatory law known as 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' finally & formally takes effect. #DADT

This is a day for celebration for lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people and all who value the American principle of Equality. Likewise, today is bitter-sweet for transgender and transsexual people (the T in LGBT) and all who value the American principle of Equality because even with DADT repeal, trans people are still barred from serving openly in the US military. Borrowing Rev. Lammert's words, trans people must continue to deny the truth of their lives.
