| Description | Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has said he will oppose a vote to repeal the military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The vote could come to the Senate floor as soon as June.
“I do not support the idea of repealing ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ before our military members and commanders complete their review,” said Graham in a statement. “This so-called compromise would repeal the legislation first, then receive input form the military."
President Barack Obama reached a deal with Democrats on Capitol Hill earlier this week that would let lawmakers vote now to repeal the policy that prohibits gays from serving openly in the military. |
