This event has not been added to any topics.

The campaign to repeal "don't ask, don't tell," which bars gays and lesbians from serving openly in the U.S. military, gained a historic victory today with the Senate voting to end the policy and send the bill to President Obama's desk.

Sixty-five Senators, including six Republicans, voted in favor of the measure. The House approved repeal earlier this week.
