[Canceled.LTroll.8]

Gay and lesbian service members, brave Americans who enable our freedoms, will no longer have to hide who they are.

The fight for civil rights, a struggle that continues, will no longer include this one.

I will never know what it feels like to be discriminated against because of my sexual orientation, but I know my story would not be possible without the sacrifice and struggle of those who came before me.

Many I will never meet, and can never thank.

I know this repeal is a crucial step for civil rights, and that it strengthens our military and national security.

I know it is the right thing to do.
