HOLY SHIT IT PASSED!!!

Senate votes to end DADT!

The U.S. Senate voted Saturday 65 to 31 to repeal the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which bans openly gay people from serving in the armed forces.

With House of Representatives legislators having voted similarly Wednesday, the bill now goes to the desk of President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign it.
