Today was an enormous disappointment, for myself, and for many young American people. Not only because ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ was not repealed by our Senators, but moreover because legislative procedure is being abused to stop public business, public debates, from happening while America is watching. There was a debate today, we just didn’t get to watch it. Instead, it has been customary now for antiquated procedures and partisan politics to take precedence over debate, America’s needs, and today, sadly, over the needs of U.S. troops. I will keep fighting, I will not give up. I am passionate about the rights of the LGBT Community and SLDN and I will continue to activate as many young people as I can, and encourage them to get politically involved in their future.

Lady GaGa talks about the new album
Lady Gaga has made her debut with two entries in the new edition of the Guinness World Records. Singles from her debut album The Fame have spent 154 weeks in the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart, 20 more than the previous record holders (Oasis in 1996). Gaga has also been named the most searched for female on the Internet.

On Tuesday night Lady Gaga pitched the need for DADT repeal before performing in the “Monster Ball Tour” at the Verizon Center in Washington, d.C.
Gaga met with former service members and SLDN clients David Hall, former Air Force staff sergeant fired under DADT; Danny Hernandez, former Marine lance corporal who was also fired under DADT; Katie Miller, a top West Point cadet who resigned in August to protest the discriminatory law; and Stacy Vasquez, former Army ergeant, first class, who was fired under DADT.
Lady Gaga’s recognition of these fine patriots casts a spotlight on the unjust burden that ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ imposes upon the brave men and women who defend our country every day, and further underscores why the Senate must swiftly act to get rid of this despicable law for good,” said Aubrey Sarvis, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. With expected votes on the Senate floor later this month, advocates of open service still have time to contact both their Senators and urge them to show support for all our veterans by voting to end DADT.
Today SLDN issued a National Action Alert urging members and supporters to call both their Senators and joint Senate leadership and urge them to schedule a vote for repeal of DADT the week of September 20.
