of clinton and gay rights in perspective. i started covering him during the transition after he was elected in 1992 before he took office january 20th, 1993, i was at little rock, he was then the governor of arkansas, president elect, and that's when during the campaign, he had basically said gays should be allowed to serve in the military but he quickly retracted that after the uproar after he was elected president. there was a lot of opposition from within the military, branches of the u.s. military, the chairman of the joint chiefs general colin powell at the time opposed allowing gays to serve in the military. and only then months later 1993 did they come up with a "don't ask, don't tell" policy this which was seen as a compromise of sorts. but clearly a deviation from where bill clinton had been during the campaign. that caused a lot of controversy at the time.
