The Senate has just voted to end debate on a bill that would lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military, essentially clearing the measure for passage and signature by the president.
Lawmakers voted 63 to 33 to end debate on the current policy, put in place by former president Bill Clinton, informally known as "don't ask don't tell."
The Senate could vote on final passage of the measure as early as today but it will most likely happen on Sunday or Monday.
"We are on the verge of ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' for good," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said after the vote "This is one of those moments in our history when we stepped up and squared our policies with the values this nation was founded upon."

Go F yourself troll. You know not what you speak of. There is no comparison to this in American history.
it’s idiots like this person why the queer agenda is being passed.
They think because they know someone who is a queer that they have no problem with their agenda but never thier agenda is dong to our country.
fergetiaboutit! Just wait. Once this becomes law, the FIRST thing that’s going to happen is that the military will institute Gay Diversity Training and EVERY marine will be ORDERED to attend. The brainwashing will proceed from there.
Honestly, I think deals were made to kill the Dream Act and let this pass. While a disgusting piece of legislation, this one is more easily undone than the Dream Act.
please calm down...you and I are relatively new here. Doesn’t a person have a right to express an opinion? Yes and one does have a right to challenge an opinion. I am the whole board to remain calm.
don’t know who you have talked to or if you have served but I know plenty still serving and talked to a friend in Kabul .
None of us know one person who wanted repeal but of course the MSM will have you think differently.
It'll probably be issued in olive drab containers; Lubrication Anal M2011.
Johnson & Johnson is probably already assembling a contract proposal.
what will the pentagon appointees and obama do if those 40% marine leaders actually do resign (and others)?
will they command them at gunpoint?
I am asking please, do not let this thread be pulled and please act on the phone, calmly. I cannot pull it, but I am posting to myself, God Figure It Out.
The Senate has just voted to force our nation back into a draft within 5 years.
People like Collins and Brown are simply focused on the “the next day.” In that sense, perhaps, it is not a big deal.
But what about 5 years from now? 10 years? What about when “gay pride parades” in the military start? What about when the politically correct investigations of Officers (esp. Christian ones) start? What about when the bunking with openly practicing homosexuals begins?
Will you still support the military as an institution then???

FOOTNOTE: FNC reporter and reperterette are GLEEFUL that the homosexuals will be allowed in the military. New agencies should not be allowed to base in NYC.
Well, what can I say. The Lord is working here not in just the afterlife. This policy will doom many to death and this country will not prosper following other gods (politically correct gods). If it is sin as you believe, then a policy of sin, gets the wages of sin (death).
bring this bill back up near the election and mention it all the time .
Come election time with this in peoples minds they will not vote for this like the marriage acts.
Of course we still have the dopes who say well I know a couple of homosexuals and they’re alright but maybe they might wake the hell up for once.
If you look at the text of the actual bill; there not much to it. You just get one sentence saying that the particular law from 1993 is no longer valid. What does that mean, that the military will then be able to set its own commonsense policies about homosexuality? No, I don’t think they’ll let that happen. Instead you’ll have gays running around base, engaging in behavior that would land any straight soldier in hot water, with the leadership’s hands tied because homosexuality will have become a protected status. I say that, because this is what happens. Go to any pride parade or gay bar in the country; such public indecency wouldn’t be tolerated from any other group - but free passes are generously handed out based on an individual’s claim to this one particular form of perversion.
“I am going to say something that I am sure will get me flamed....I also won’t be on FR for most of the day, so others will call it a hit and run.....but....
I think most here are really overreacting to DADT. Although I, personally, think homosexuality is a sin, I think this isone sin I will let God handle in the afterlife.”
—Disagree.
Simple question for you: given the fact that many male gays have been known to engage in extremely risky sexual behavior (which is part of the reason AIDS affects them the most), and the fact that well...soldiers bleed on the battlefield, do you really believe that people won’t think twice before joining the military and wanting to serve with openly gay people?
To add, homosexuality is incompatable with military service, and starting today, military service will be incompatible with Christianity. From this day forward, I’ll have no respect for anyone enlisting or re-enlisting.
‘No military member should EVER be forced to live with a homosexual against their will’
It is clearly written gay and lesbianism is against His Word. Our government passes laws against God’s almighty word?
Woe to he
