Sestak Calls for End of Don't Ask Don't Tell

By Ed Brayton

Joe Sestak, a Democratic congressman from Pennsylvania and retired 3 star admiral, has called for the end of the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy.

"Once you have served in war and faced danger with a gay service member, how can you come home and say gay people should not enjoy equal rights? It is simple. 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' must be repealed."

Sestak joins 16 other veterans in Congress who are co-sponsors of legislation to lift the ban on openly gay service.

Hear, hear.
