DADT Repeal
Sep. 20th, 2011 09:01 am"Air Force Capt. Diane Cox, whose gay son served in the Navy, said she got into heated debates with service members vowing not to take showers and share rooms with gays before Congress voted to repeal the law, but after the military held sensitivity trainings to explain the new rules "everybody just shut up."
Jokes are still told about gay people but the harsh remarks have stopped, she said."
It's always interesting to watch people climb out of their mob mentality. It saddens me how often we humans require an authority figure to tell us how to think humanely. It also saddens me knowing that when they say the harsh remarks have stopped, I know that should be read as "most of the harsh remarks have stopped."
