National Stonewall Democrats’ Statement commending the Federal Court's Decision calling Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell unconstitutional

Michael Mitchell, the Executive Director of the National Stonewall Democrats made this statement regarding the Federal Court’s decision in Log Cabin Republicans v. United States that found Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell unconstitutional:

“Today’s Federal court decision calling the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy unconstitutional on grounds that it violates gay military members' rights to free speech, due process and open association is another nail in the coffin of the policy.”

Mitchell continued, “We’re glad that the Federal court agrees with President Obama’s position: that Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell needs to come to an end. Our Senators need to hear from their constituents demanding repeal. We also call on Senate Republicans to rise above the obstructionism they’ve been playing at for months and let a vote happen on what the vast majority of Americans want: repeal of DADT.”
