I think that DADT helped prepare people for out members of the military. I read a few military web sites and have to say the opposition to gay soldiers is still incredibly strong. The fact that the military acknowledged that there were such things as honorably serving gay service members, even if they weren't allowed to be out did something to pave the still bumpy road of today.

It might have been ludicrous but hate for gay people is also ludicrous and isn't going away anytime soon.
