Don't Ask, Don't Tell: A Transition Policy

Hillary Clinton was asked if her husband's policy was a mistake and her response was that the "Don't ask, Don't Tell" was a transition policy. Gay and lesbians serve our nation honorably in the military and they should be allowed to serve openly. Clinton spoke about Arabic linguists who were discharged for their sexuality and believes that should never have happened. It was said it does not take a straight person to shoot straight and again people in the seats clapped in support.

It was then noted New Hampshire's Governor Lynch sign legislation on Friday to make the state the fourth in the nation to legalize civil unions in keeping with anti-discrimination tradition.

When CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer asked the candidates if they would do away with the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, it was a unanimous arms raised show of hands and the arena audience erupted with applause.
