Democratic Frontrunners Are All Lying About Don't Ask Don't Tell

A recent NY Times Op-Ed
(you may need bugmenot to read the article) asserts that this is the first election in two decades where Gay Rights is not an issue. The author, Andrew Jacobs, states:
For the first time in two decades, gay voters find themselves in an unusual, if happy, predicament.
The three leading Democrats have staked out similar positions on issues that resonate with
gay men and lesbians. Although none of the three candidates back gay marriage,
they all support same-sex civil unions and say they would fight to repeal the military's
'don't ask, don't tell' policy. And each of them says he or she would champion a federal
anti-discrimination law that would protect lesbians and gay men.
What fantasy land is Jacobs living in? I don't believe for one second that
Hillary Clinton will do a damn thing to
change the horrible mess her hubby made with his ridiculous Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.
If she says otherwise, she's lyin'.
All of the candidates may be singing the same gay rights tune, but the question is this:
which one of them do you believe will
follow through with any promises they make to the LGBT community? In my opinion: not a single one of them.
