Last night, I had the privilege of attending QLaw’s Annual Banquet as the guest of Richard Wood and Summit Law Group.  QLaw (aka the GLBT Bar Association of Washington) celebrated it’s 5th year anniversary with over 400 lawyers in attendance, including Governor Chris Gregoire.  The keynote was given by Darren Manzella, a former US Army Sergeant dismissed under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell after two decorated tours of duty in Iraq.  He recounted his very personal experience along with the support of the pro bono organization Servicemembers Legal Defense Network.  Whatever your perspective may be consider this:  in an era where the armed forces are struggling to recruit, 14,000 active and trained service members have been dismissed under DADT.
