Enlistment as Justice
Posted by Wallace+
Editor's Note: Wallace+ wrote this post yesterday before the federal appeals panel issued its decision, which temporarily reinstates "Don't Ask Don't Tell." We remain hopeful for the eventual end to this unconstitutional policy.
It is amazing to think that the United States military, for a week now, has been enlisting openly gay people in its ranks. This thanks to a judge's order.
It seems quite possible, if not likely, that the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy will be, at some point, for some period of time, reinstituted. Nevertheless, even though the judge's order may not constitute a permanent righting of a wrong, the judge's order certainly does represent progress, and is a sign of how far we've come.
Let us pray for justice in our armed forces, and for justice for all gay and lesbian people.
Amen, amen.
