"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Becomes History

Dan Choi, the openly gay Army lieutenant who was discharged under the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, is planning to join once again now that the discriminatory policy has officially ended. The end of the policy is considered a promise fulfilled by the Obama White House to gays and lesbians that backed the Democrat in 2008. Choi has been an outspoken opponent of the policy which prevented gay and lesbian servicemembers from serving openly in the U.S. military. I, for one, am happy to see the policy go - unlike most Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
