At precisely 12:01 a.m. EST, the popping of champagne bottles began along with cheers and tears celebrating the end of a repressive era that prohibited LGBTQ servicemembers from honestly and openly serving in the military.

But the celebration was bittersweet.

While our lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) servicemembers now have a policy in place to protect them from discrimination, the repeal of DADT doesn't protect our transgender servicemembers.

yeah

We got a long road ahead of us. In terms of fighting the good fight, the Lesbians and Gays has a good head start on us as they started much earlier in larger numbers. Now it's our turn to educate the masses.
