LGBT/Politics: End to Don't Ask. Don't Tell?

A little weight is being put behind ending the armed forces ban on gays and their discriminatory Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.

New York City Council is expected to vote on a resolution calling on Congress to abolish the ban on gays in the military.

The proposed resolution was debated today in a committee hearing.

"It is long overdue for the Council to speak out about this unfair and discriminatory policy," said Council Member Alan Jay Gerson, the prime sponsor of the resolution.
