62. Most of the critics have little historical perspective.
They act as if the political and cultural climate of the 90s was the same as it is today. Clinton put his neck on the line in 1993 trying to get the military to accept gays in their ranks. I guess that some forget the kind of crap he took over it from the Republicans and even from some Democrats in Congress. Ditto for DOGMA. Many forget that this compromise came to be because the Repugs wanted to make it unconstitutional for gays to get married. Nothing occurs in a vacuum.
