?By ending ?Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell,? no longer will our nation be denied the service of thousands of patriotic Americans forced to leave the military, despite years of exemplary performance, because they happen to be gay,? Mr. Obama said in a statement after the cloture vote. ?And no longer will many thousands more be asked to live a lie in order to serve the country they love.? – as quoted in the New York Times.

How wonderful is this news!? Now gay people can serve in the military, just like everyone else.

Next up: let’s let them marry as well!
