Lieberman to Introduce Senate `Don`t Ask, Don`t
Tell` Repeal Bill
Senate Bill to Be Introduced After Weeks of
Momentum-Building Advancements for Repeal
|
The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender civil rights organization, applauded Senator Joseph
Lieberman (I-CT)'s statement that he will introduce a bill in the Senate
to repeal the discriminatory " Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law that bars
openly gay and lesbian Americans from serving in the military.
Lieberman made his intentions public this morning in a statement and
during an interview with the New York Daily News,where Lieberman stated,
" What matters is not the gender of the other person in your unit or the
color or the religion or in this case the sexual orientation. It's
whether that person is a good soldier you can depend on. And that's why I
think it's going to work."

 Palm Center Releases Major Study Of Gays In Foreign
Militaries
General David Petraeus, Commander of U.S.
Central Command, on the review of `don`t ask, don`t tell`: `It will
suggest the policies that could be used to implement a change if it does
come to that, so that it could be as uneventful as it was, say, in the
U.K. or the Israeli militaries or, indeed, in our own CIA and FBI.`
February 21, 2010
The New York Times reported yesterday on the release of the largest ever
study of gays in foreign militaries. The report, which is being
released today by the Palm Center, concludes that foreign militaries
that allow gays and lesbians to serve openly achieved success by
implementing an inclusive policy quickly and under decisive leadership.
The principal author of the study, "Gays in Foreign Militaries 2010: A
Global Primer," is Dr. Nathaniel Frank, Senior Research Fellow at Palm,
who last year published the book, "Unfriendly Fire: How the Gay Ban
Undermines the Military and Weakens America." Also contributing to
the report was top expert on the British military, Dr. Victoria Basham,
as well as a retired Captain in the Canadian Forces and several social
scientists who study gender, sexuality, and military personnel policy.

 Why This Black Gay American Still Supports
President Obama
By Earl D. Fowlkes, Jr.
In late August 2008, I had the opportunity to attend the Democratic
National Convention. I listened carefully to the speeches of Michelle
Obama, Mrs. Clinton, and President Bill Clinton. On August 28, 2008, I
listened to Senator Barack Obama outline his soaring vision for America.
I heard him speak on how he would address the sinking economy, the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan, health care reform, clean energy technology,
and job creation. Read on...
