At a press conference today gay, lesbian and straight veterans (including Rep. Patrick Murphy himself an Iraq war veteran and lead sponsor of legislation to repeal the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy) spoke out against the military’s discriminatory ban on gay, lesbian and bisexual servicemembers that weakens our national security.  The Human Rights Campaign along with Servicemembers United announced a tour called “Voices of Honor” to support repeal of the policy.
