For young LGBT people this means that they can see much more than hiding and passing in their futures.

I think the efforts to shame them will lose it's potency now that they are officially recognized as people whose have talents and strengths are officially valued by the US military.

After talking with friends, reading these accounts and articles, and seeing pres. Obama finally endorse marriage equality, I realize that ending DADT was the beginning of something bigger than I realized.
