Last week, Campus Pride contributor David Hanson wrote a phenomenally in-depth post on what a possible "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal might mean for colleges and universities and, in particular, ROTC programs.

Well, that "possible" repeal is now reality.

On Saturday, the U.S. Senate voted 65-31 to overturn "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the 1993 law which prohibits open military service by gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans. President Obama is slated to sign the legislation this week, and will work with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen to certify the policy's final repeal and implementation within the next few months to a year.

In time, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" will be fully repealed, with open service for LGB Americans fully implemented in its place. ROTC college students will no longer have to worry about anti-LGB discrimination from their program directors or fear facing a closeted career after college.

All of this is good news, of course, and Campus Pride looks forward to continuing our work with college and university students, faculty and staff, and expanding our work to include those students who have opted to join ROTC and serve our country after their college education.

As we stop to thank all of the groups that worked to secure this repeal -- groups like the Human Rights Campaign, the National Lesbian & Gay Task Force, Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, Servicemembers United, the American Civil Liberties Union, Log Cabin Republicans and a host of other organizations and individual activists both grassroots and national -- we should also pause to remember that our work is not done. For transgender Americans, discrimination within the U.S. Armed Forces will continue to be a reality. Campus Pride asks each of you to remember our transgender servicemembers and continue your own work, individually or with advocacy organizations, to keep pushing until all anti-LGBT discrimination sanctioned by the U.S. government comes to an end.
