对大多数从中国来读书的人来说,可能没有什么马上直接的好处。但是,如果同性恋都 没有资格为国家牺牲生命的话,其他的平等就是天方夜谭。 废除DADT和通过HATE CRIMES BILL是LGBT平权方面联邦级别立法的两大里程碑。从军 平等了,顺理成章就是其他就业平等,所以废除DADT为通过Employment Non- Discrimination Act(ENDA)铺了路。ENDA是和我们每一个人都有关的。现在没有联邦 法律来保护LGBT在就业方面不受歧视。 The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is a proposed bill in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by civilian, nonreligious employers with at least 15 employees. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employment_Non-Discrimination_Act

从军平等了,就业平等了,同性婚姻合法的州多了,顺理成章的就是废除DOMA,联邦立 法承认LGBT的FULL MARRIAGE EQUALITY。

我猜,那就是说DADT曾被用来作为反对ENDA的重要例证了? 还要多少年呀,大概。。。

"This victory not only means that gays and lesbians will be allowed to serve with the dignity they deserve, but that America is beginning to recognize that our struggle is for civil rights. America is beginning to understand that gay rights are human rights."
