In a historic vote, the Senate overturns ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

Preview:


After years of contentious debate, the Senate on Saturday voted to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that blocked gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.

While critics, including Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain, said the repeal would cause a deadly distraction on the battlefield at a time of war, the lawmakers backing repeal equated the vote to other historic moments including the end of racial segregation among troops in the 1950s and the decision to allow women to attend military service academies in the 1970s.

It's about time we get rid of this policy! One of America's inherent problems is that it was founded on segregation and prejudice against certain groups of people. Though we continue to suffer from the effects of those actions today, America can reclaim its status as a great country once we eliminate discrimination against any and every group of people!
