Comic: DADT
Go ahead and ask...
The House of Representatives has voted to repeal the "Don't ask, Don't tell" legislation that requires gay armed forces personnel to keep secret their sexual orientation, and the Senate is forecast to vote the same way.

Roberto De Vido is a communications consultant, writer, cartoonist and jack of many trades. The former chief of Tucson Sentinel’s East Asia Bureau, he now lives in California (make of that what you will).
“When I served in Baghdad, my team did not care whether a fellow soldier was straight or gay.”
— Representative Patrick Murphy, D-PA, Iraq war veteran
