Finally with a 63-33 vote the senate put an end to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
military policy. This is a huge victory in the repeal of DADT. The bill now moves
Obama's desk for the final vote. If DADT is repealed it means that gays can
finally openly be accepted by the military & could acknowledge their sexual
orientation without the fear of being fired. President Obama stated, "The Senate
has taken an historic step toward ending a policy that undermines our national
security while violating the very ideals that our brave men & women in uniform
risk their lives to defend." The repeal of DADT will not go into effect immediately.
There will be a 60-day waiting period as the Pentagon implements new rules.
