Lady Gaga Urges Senators To Support Ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell
Lady Gaga posted a YouTube video to fans urging them to call their Senators and voice their opposition to the exclusion of gays in the military. She named Republican Senators John McCain of Arizona, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Jeff Sessions of Alabama as those who have been most vocal in opposing the move to reverse the military’s current “don’t ask, don’t tell” law.
“Senators, when you’re sending our men and women into war, when you’re sending our wives, husbands sons and daughters into combat, will you honor their service,” the pop star asks in the video. “Will you support repealing this law on Tuesday, and pledge to them that no American’s life is more valuable than another?”
