We don't have to accept it or embrace it - but we certainly need to acknowledge it.
The refusal to acknowledge it is why we are in the shape we are in.
DADT was just to allow people to serve with honor - until it wasnt.
Now it's "bake my cake mother fucker"

Pretending that we dont have to get used to it - "the pendulum will swing the other way" sooner or later is why that pendulum never really seems to swing the other way.

If things are going to swing the other way, why didn't anything get done when the republicans finally had both houses, the white house, and the court?
Especially when they had spent the last 8 years campaigning that once they got control, things would be different?

Because there is no pendulum.
