'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' was repealed #OnThisDay in 2011; #DADT was part of #BillClinton's relentless vicious attacks on the #LGBT community, culminating in his championing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA); his #homophobia is a key part of his dreadful legacy...

With current trans bans & cultural rollbacks, the fight to serve is far from over. #DADT #TransRights
