I sat glued to my television. President Obama was addressing the nation in front of the United States Constitution at the National Archives. For sure I thought, he was going to announce an end to all the discrimination against those of us in the LGBT community. After all, he was talking about the rule of law. Here was our Constitution teacher-in-chief and he was going to end the unconstitutional policy of Don't Ask Don't Tell. Well... as I watched our President, followed by the former Vice President, it was obvious that no such pronouncements were to take place.
