BREAKING: House votes to repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’
The United States House of Representatives just voted to repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’. The measure passed with a 234-194 vote. Just a few hours ago, The United States Senate voted to repeal it.
The measure includes a provision that the ban could not be lifted until December 1st, when the Pentagon completes a review to ensure that the repeal would not affect military readiness.
The New Civil Rights Movement reports:
The House still needs to vote on the actual Defense Authorization Bill, as does the Senate. The bill is “must-have” legislation and is widely-expected to pass. The president is expected to sign the bill.
