Don't Ask, Don't Tell in the State of the Union

If you didn't know, the US military's policy of don't-ask-don't-tell, made it impossible for alternative sexualities to serve openly in the military. It it became known that a soldier was either gay or a lesbian and serving in the military, they were immediately discharged. After much debate the policy was finally repealed by the Senate in December of 2010. Check out the video below for President Obama's remarks on don't-ask-don't-tell in his State of the Union Address.
