Yes, of course. But osamanobama will just ignore this very obvious facts and accuse others of what he is most guilty of.

what im i guilty of?
also, DOMA was the law no longer is.
and even if it was, theres still no "right" i have that gays dont. the law was, recuiters dont ask anybody about their sexual orientation, and nobody tells about their sexual orientation.
So again please inform me of what rights i have that gays dont, or are you just going to hide behind the facade of false superiority and say its not worth you time (when in reality its because you dont have an answer)

You've mixed up the acronyms. DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell) was repelled, not the extremely discriminitory DOMA (Deffence of Marriage Act).
And Don't Ask, Don't Tell was a discriminatory policy, because it only applied to homosexuals. Homosexuals were not allowed to serve in the military, but it was OK according to DADT if they were closeted (meaning if they pretended to be straight). And there was actually nothing wrong with asking about someone's sexual orientation (don't remember hearing of any cases of soldiers discharged for asking if someone is gay). And a gay soldier didn't have to reveal his sexual orientation in order to be discharged. If someone found out he was gay (for example, snooping around his stuff and finding something 'incriminating'), the gay soldier would get reported and thrown out, because he was gay, and gays weren't allowed in the military. Also, no one was discharged for revealing they were openly heterosexual, and that's because heterosexuals were allowed in the military.
DADT was basically 'gays can serve in the military, as long as they pretend to not be gay, because gays aren't allowed'. This is discrimination plain and simple, though I'm not surprised YOU are having trouble seeing why.
And I do have an answer, and it's such an obvious answer, that the fact that you can't see it discourages me from even bothering with you. YOU and PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF aren't really worth even what I've written so far.
