How does the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell relate to a broader movement for LGBT equality? On the next Your Call we'll talk about Congress' decision to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, the law that for 17 years meant gays and lesbians could serve in the U.S. military provided they didn't reveal their sexual orientation. The policy led to the discharge of 14,000 soldiers from the military and the harassment of countless others. How will this repeal change the future for gay rights? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
