Don't Ask Don't Tell repealed!

This Sunday, the Senate voted to repeal a law which made it illegal for any openly gay man or woman to serve in the military. The vote was a landslide victory, 65 to 31 with eight Republican votes for the repeal. This law was originally passed under the Clinton administration, as a compromise between those who wanted a blanket ban on gays in the military and those who wanted to abolish all forms of sexual-orientation based discrimination in the military. It's been in place for seventeen years, and it was high time it was done away with. This landslide vote will hopefully lead to more progress of this nature towards true equality.
