jadedmusingsDon't Ask Don't Tell was repealed yesterday and it was a Very Good Day(TM).
Warning: Have tissues handy!
First up, a gay soldier comes out to his father and records it live for YouTube.
"Everybody here knows, Dad. And it's all been great. Nobody's giving me any shit about it."
World War II veteran Melvin Dwork, pictured in his old uniform, was discharged from the Navy for being gay. Now his discharge has been changed from "undesirable" to "honorable" as a result of the DADT repeal.
There are several heartwarming pictures there, including a picture from Lt. Gary Ross's wedding (link follows).

Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal: Navy Lt. Gary Ross, Partner Dan Swezy Wed As Military's Gay Ban Formally Ends
DUXBURY, Vt. -- Just as the formal repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy took effect, Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner were married before a small group of family and friends.
The two men, who'd been together 11 years, decided to marry in Vermont in part because the state is in the Eastern time zone.
That way, they were able to recite their vows at the stroke of midnight - at the first possible moment after the ban ended.
And he wore his dress blues. BLUB!
