Want to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell? Stop paying for it, says Sen. Gillibrand

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., announced at a Human Rights Campaign dinner last Saturday night that she plans to attach an amendment to the defense budget to curtail further spending on the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy

"I don't think another man or woman should be dismissed from the military, and I think the quickest way to do that is to cut off funding for the implementation of the policy," Gillibrand said.
