WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) issued the following statement in response to the Senate’s floor vote on the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010:
“Sexual orientation is not a choice, but discrimination is. Today, I was proud to stand as one of 65 Senators to vote to end this discriminatory policy and repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Brave men and women in uniform are willing to fight for our freedom every day, and it is our responsibility - as legislators- to continue to fight for theirs.”
