Don't Ask, Don't Tell - the US military's 18-year ban on openly gay and lesbian service personnel - has officially been repealed, ushering in a new era for the country's armed forces.
In a statement on Tuesday President Barack Obama welcomed the end of a policy that he said had forced gay and lesbian members to 'lie about who they are'.
While the US military or indeed any military could ever be considered at the vanguard of 'good practice', President Obama's comment is interesting.
Is what he said true? And if it is what can bishops, cardinals, provincials, archbishops, a pope think of these words?
