Obama 'committed to changing' Don't Ask, Don't Tell


Sandy Tsao is a Chinese American Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, based in Missouri, who had made the brave decision to live openly as a gay woman and decided to meet with her commanding officer to share the news, even though she was aware that the conversation would cause an end to her service.

She wrote a letter to President Obama, pleading for him to repeal the military ban so she can continue to serve her country. And the President wrote her back in a handwritten letter.

In it, President Obama wrote that he is "committed to changing our current policy."

It might take some time, but it looks like Don't Ask, Don't Tell is on the way out. - via GLAAD
