Whoops! Cindy McCain reverses her course on DADT repeal

Yesterday, I talked about how Cindy McCain filmed an lgbt supportive commercial in which she criticized Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The irony of her criticism is that her husband, Senator John McCain, supports the policy.

Well today, I am reporting that she has reversed her opinion. Via the Huffington Post:

Cindy McCain has apparently sharply reversed course on her position on the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the span of just several days. Having blasted the policy that bars gays from openly serving in the military on Wednesday, the wife of Senator McCain now says she supports her husband's stance on the issue.

On November 10, Cindy McCain appeared in an ad for the NOH8 campaign, an organization formed as a response to California's Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state. In the video, McCain says that "our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future." Later, she adds that "they can't serve our country openly."

On Friday, however, Cindy McCain clarified her stance, tweeting that she supports her husband's position on DADT. "I fully support the NOH8 campaign and all it stands for and am proud to be a part of it. But I stand by my husband's stance on DADT."

Aaaah. Politics.
