On Thursday, March 18, Kathy Griffin joined a crowd gathered at Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C., calling for a repeal of ''Don't Ask Don't Tell.''

A two-time Emmy winner for her Bravo television show My Life on the D-List, Griffin remarked that her appearance at the Human Rights Campaign's ''Repeal 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' Now'' rally capped a week of lobbying against DADT on Capitol Hill.

In this video, she tells about meeting several gay-supportive members of Congress, and also about her run-ins with Michelle Bachman, Eric Cantor, and Scott Brown. She then relays her experience at the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Here is her speech in its entirety. Watch for an extended version of the day's events including interviews from the rally's attendees later.
