The prevailing narrative of #DADT repeal seems to be that it was no big deal, a nothing burger, all hat and no cattle. Evidence of the professionalism of the force and a broad commitment to inclusion. The evidence: None of the dire predictions came true...and yet.
This narrative, while tempting and self-congratulatory, oversimplifies the momentousness and significance of the repeal and, in many cases, erases the continued discrimination, intolerance, and harm suffered by LGBTQ service members even after the formal appeal.
It paves the way for “it’s no big deal. They’re just doing their job. Why do you have to flaunt it” responses when important “firsts” are achieved and barriers broken.
