I don't think people really understand how hard it was back then... and that the overturn of DADT was just the "Patriotic" thing to do, instead of lesbian/gay rights.
SAME EXACT thing happened w/POC in the Services. It had NOTHING to do w/equality - it was about patriotism. I've said this for nearly 2decades that it always has a major start in the Armed Services tho.... and I was right. What we all went through was actually quite traumatic and GOD KNOWS we know how many people who were investigated, Masted/Court Martialed and fucking DISCHARGED! ESPECIALLY WOMEN!!! Women in all the Services were discharged at a MUCH HIGHER percentage rate then male homosexuals. No one KNOWS THIS tho because the majority of images/stories are of gay males. People don't "empathize" w/lesbians in the Military. We are a old joke. Women were ONLY 8 to 10 percent of the entire military back then!! Women in the Armed Services have NOT had an easy route and no one knows the stories... because know one really cares to hear them. Women's History... again erased and ignored.
