The House has approved a measure that would allow the Pentagon to repeal the ban on openly gay and bisexual servicemembers known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The repeal would require approval of top military commanders following the completion of an internal review due by December 1st. The measure was attached to the annual Pentagon policy bill by a vote of 234 to 94. The overall bill is expected to come up for vote today. The House move came shortly after the Senate Armed Services Committee approved a similar measure backing the repeal.
