Yesterday, the US senate repealed the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is a policy in the US Military which forced homosexual soldiers to hide their orientation or be discharged. I think Obama said it nicely:
"It is time to close this chapter in our history. It is time to recognize that sacrifice, valor and integrity are no more defined by sexual orientation than they are by race or gender, religion or creed."
Or, to be a bit more comical:
"As Barry Goldwater said, 'You don't have to be straight to shoot straight,' " said Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), referring to the late GOP senator from Arizona.
Thanks to the Washington Post.
