Washington,
DC -- Congressman Steve Rothman (NJ-9), a member of the House Appropriations
Defense Subcommittee, released the following statement on the one year
anniversary of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell:”
Today,
we celebrate America’s continued progress toward equality and inclusion for all
in our society. With the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” countless
Americans were granted the opportunity to serve their country openly and
proudly. Our Armed Forces are stronger and our country is safer because
of those gay and lesbian Americans who have, and those who will, choose to
defend our nation. I join with millions to celebrate the one year anniversary
of the end to this discriminatory policy and I stand committed to the continued
fight for equality for all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Americans
and their families under the law.
