I would like to commend the United States Senate for voting to repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Despite the pain the Democrats went through in losing these stronghold Senate seats, it is great to see Republican Senators like Scott Brown of Massachusetts and the newly minted Mark Kirk of Illinois, vote with socially progressive minds, despite the taboo nature of the topic amongst the conservative voter base. This is definitely a big feat and victory for Barack Obama and the LGBT community.The lame duck Congress, isn’t so lame after all.
