Gay and lesbian troops sacrifice more

Today, November 11, is Veterans Day in the U.S. -- an annual holiday honoring our military veterans.

On this day, I want to thank all our veterans for the sacrifices they have made for our country.

And I especially want to thank our gay and lesbian veterans. It seems to me that they must sacrifice even more than their straight colleagues, because they must deny their own true identities under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

And that just doesn't seem fair.

Will "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" remained forever stalled in the Senate?

Will it die there as the Obama administration shamelessly challenges court rulings that have struck down the policy?

Will our gay and lesbian service members ever see some change they can believe in?
