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.
