In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren: how Conservatives could make her the next US President [View all]msanthrope
(37,549 posts)I worked for her. So I freely admit my biased viewpoint.
She, like President Clinton, hired and promoted openly gay people at a time in DC when that simply Was Not Done. But neither she nor the President openly called for equality. So that is her moral failing, and I will never excuse it. Nor will I excuse myself...15 years ago I thought equal marriage was unrealistic and frankly, silly.
I look back on that, and recognize how wrong I was. Seriously, disgustingly wrong. An inexcusable moral failing on my part.
The Clintons knew and understood that DADT was a mere stopgap....yes, it saved people from military prison, but it could not ever be the answer to equality.
Sometimes...we crawl before we walk. I think your posts on this remind us of the moral choices we make every single day, and I respect that.
