Poll: 75% Of Americans Support Gays In Military
Seventy-five percent of Americans believe that gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve in the US military, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The Washington Post reported that the number of Americans who support gays in the military is up from 62% in 2001.
Eighty percent of registered Democrats support the repeal of ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell,’ a policy banning openly gay service men and women from the military. Enacted 15 years ago under the Clinton administration, the push for the repeal of DADT is gaining momentum. The Post reported that support from Republicans has doubled from 32 to 64 percent since DADT was enacted.
