Super, thanks for asking

I'm reading a lot of articles in my news stream today about the end of the horrible, unjust, unfair, terrible, homophobic, tyrranical Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.

And while I'm glad to see the end of it, I thought the policy was an improvement on the original 'we think you act kind of gay so we're tossing your gay ass out with a dishonorable discharge' policy.

History Majors? Gay Studies Majors?

I wouldn't say that it was an "improvement" on the old policy. Some of the people who made it might have had good intentions, but good intentions often lead to less-than-good results. It was a change from the old policy, and it changed the way that gay people were discriminated against in the military, but it did not end the discrimination.
