The U.S. Senate approved a bill Saturday, December 18, to repeal the 17-year-old law banning openly gay people from serving in the military. The roll call vote on the measure, which came to the Senate Wednesday from the House, was 65 to 31. It had passed the House 250 to 175. Because both bills are identical, it now moves to the president's desk for his signature. The White House issued a statement, calling the vote "an historic step toward ending a policy that undermines our national security."

Obama: I am extremely disappointed that yet another filibuster has prevented the Senate from moving forward with the National Defense Authorization Act. Despite having the bipartisan support of a clear majority of Senators, a minority of Senators are standing in the way of the funding upon which our troops, veterans and military families depend. This annual bill has been enacted each of the past 48 years, and our armed forces deserve nothing less this year.

Obama: LGBT disappointment not justified
2010-10-28

by Lisa Keen
President Obama said Oct. 27 that he does not think the "disillusionment" that some in the LGBT community have for his administration thus far is "justified." He also refused to say whether he believes "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ( DADT ) is unconstitutional. And he said he has a strategy for getting the military ban on gays repealed in the lame-duck session.
Groups push for DADT injunction
2010-10-25
Lambda Legal filed a friend-of-the-court brief Oct. 25, 2010 urging the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to leave in place pending appeal the injunction a federal district court judge issued against enforcement of the U.S. military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" ( DADT ) ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces, saying that the policy's impact extends far beyond those in uniform and that continuing it would do irreparable harm to lesbian, gay and bisexual Americans.
