Time for a Wingnut Freakout

DADT has officially been repealed and gays and lesbians will be able to serve openly in the military as of September 20, 2011: About f**king time.
Service members today welcomed a key milestone in repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT), as President Obama, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, formally issued their certification to the Armed Services committees of both houses of Congress, signifying that the military is ready for the transition. In 60 days, as prescribed in the law passed by Congress and signed by the President last December, repeal will be final.
Now get ready for the wingers to start screaming — again — about how terrible this is: Watch out no, don’t go into that bathroom!
