Obama Urges Repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

[MineralMan]

" (CN) - On the heels of a Pentagon study that found more than two-thirds of American troops would not object to openly gay service members, the White House endorsed the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
"The reality is that gay men and lesbians are already serving in today's military," according to the Pentagon report released Tuesday. "The other reality, revealed in the course of this review, is that much of the force recognizes this."
President Barack Obama urged the Senate to follow the lead of the House of Representatives, which already passed legislation approving the repeal.
"Today's report confirms that a strong majority of our military men and women and their families - more than two thirds - are prepared to serve alongside Americans who are openly gay and lesbian," Obama said in a statement Tuesday. "This report also confirms that, by every measure - from unit cohesion to recruitment and retention to family readiness - we can transition to a new policy in a responsible manner that ensures our military strength and national security.""
