Senate votes 65 to 31 to repeal DADT

The United States Senate today finally understood that the willingness and ability of a person to lay down his or her life to defend our democracy should be the only standard by which we should judge that person's capacity to be a member of our armed forces. All other reasons such as race, creed, religion, national origin, and now sexual preference are irrelevant.

I am proud of our great country for finally recognizing this simple fact.
