Singer Lady Gaga released a video Friday urging members of the US Senate and her "fellow Americans" to help repeal the military rule banning openly gay people from serving in the armed forces. In her most overt political stance to date, Gaga, 24, described herself as "a voice for my generation" and urged her millions of fans to help overturn the policy that allows gay men and women to serve in the military as long as they keep their sexual orientation private. The US Senate is expected to vote Tuesday on whether to begin debate on the annual Defense Department authorization bill, which includes language aimed at ending the Clinton-era "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. The US House of Representatives has already voted to repeal it. Reuters |
