Gaga appeals to senate over gay policy
December 1st, 2010 - 1:32 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Dec 1 (IANS) Controversial singer Lady Gaga has put in more effort to force US politicians to repeal the military’s controversial “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy regarding gay servicemen and women, urging lawmakers to stand up and fight against “discrimination”.
“The Senate needs to get this bill passed this year to repeal ‘Don’t ask, Don’t Tell’, otherwise it can take years for it to happen. We have to end this law because it reinforces discrimination and it’s setting a bad example,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Gaga as saying.
She has been committed to the cause and wants to allow homosexuals and bisexuals to serve openly in the armed forces.
The Senate voted against it and she directly sent a message to the lawmakers.
She wrote: “You said you would debate and address this law when the Pentagon returned with a strategy and tomorrow morning you will have it.”
