Washington Post Urges Repeal
This morning's Washington Post includes an editorial urging Congress to repeal the ban on openly lesbian, gay and bisexual service members, noting that it is Time to End 'Don't Ask'.
Citing a "Report of the General/Flag Officers' Study Group" released this week by the Michael D. Palm Center of the University of California at Santa Barbara, the Post called the group's findings "devastating."
"Attitudes in the military are changing," wrote the editorial board. "Allowing gay men and lesbians to serve openly 'is unlikely to pose any significant risk to morale, good order, discipline, or cohesion.'" The article concludes by exhorting readers, "That reexamination should be the beginning of the end of 'don't ask, don't tell.'"
We couldn't agree more.
