Today, the House is considering H.R. 2965, Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sponsored by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-PA). This discriminatory and harmful policy has weakened America's security by depriving our nation of the service of thousands of gay and lesbian troops who have served their country honorably -- and forcing even larger numbers of troops to lie about who they are. The House passed this repeal, as an amendment to the DOD bill, in May 2010 by a vote of 234 to 194, and it is long overdue for the Senate to pass it as well.

  • I admire John Lewis for being consistant with his belief in civil rights for all American citizens. Great man. I wish I could meet him.

  • @biozamadotcom You are a disgrace.

  • These people pander and patronize non stop.

    The USA is facing economic crash and austerity right now

    and these folks are getting uppity about tangential issues that do not matter and that are not important. Disgrace.
