CERTIFIED
The official end of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’
It has been a long trek from the days that Sam Nunn (a Democratic senator from Georgia) got all hot and bothered about protecting navy men in submarines from gays particularly when they were showering.
Gay Shipmates? Senators Listen As Sailors Talk (1993)
He didn't know, apparently, that you can have sex with your clothes on or off and not only that, you can have sex in a senate office on the desk without anyone being the wiser.
To say nothing about the fact that all submarines had some gay men on them just based on the odds. And surely there was sex.
Sam Nunn.
Now women serve on subs and whether sex occurs or not is the least important part of it if it is consensual and all. Not fraternizing. And so on.
I am probably too crude about this but DADT has been an incredible waste of political rhetoric and, shamefully, the loss of careers and even lives for gay men and women who only wanted to serve proudly.
The dark night is over.
More crudities.
For Sam Fucking Nunn. Wanker.
