U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley Wednesday called for the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which currently mandates the discharge of openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual service members as a violation of Title 10 of the U.S. Code. [...]
"This is bigger than gay rights. It's about human rights, no matter what your race, gender, or sexual orientation," Quigley said. "There's something fundamentally wrong with encouraging citizens to serve their country, as long as they lie about who they are."
To get some background on the effort underway in the current Congress to repeal the policy, watch this March segment from Rachel Maddow's MSNBC program:
