We share her sentiments, deeply.
One of the proudest and loudest activists against the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is our wifey, Lady GaGa. Of course, news reached her yesterday that the policy won’t be repealed and she was as unhappy with it as we were. She posted this message to her fans and supporters, expressing her disappointment. She wrote:
Today was an enormous DISAPPOINTMENT, for myself, and for many young American people. Not only because Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was not repealed by our Senators, but moreover because LEGISLATIVE PROCEDURE is being abused to stop public business, public debates, from happening while America is watching. There was a debate today, we just didn’t get to watch it. Instead, it has been customary now for antiquated procedures and partisan politics to take precedence over debate, America’s needs, and today, sadly, over the needs of US troops. I will keep fighting, I will not give up. I am passionate about the rights of the LGBT Community and SLDN and I will continue to activate as many young people as I can, and encourage them to get politically involved in their future.
With such a strong leader at the helm, we can’t hope and believe that we won’t be successful one day!
Let’s keep fighting the good fight for equal rights! Never give up!
