About 17 years too late. Other than that I welcome the repeal of this moronic policy.
Actually, gays have been allowed to serve openly in Sweden since 1977, so it's more like 33 years too late
Burr explained his surprise decision to vote yes on the final bill by saying that while he still feels the timing is wrong for repeal, he joined the majority because "this policy is outdated, and repeal is inevitable."
I guess that kind of makes sense. So this is basicly Burr realising history will probably look bad on those who voted against this, and since there's six years until he'll have to worry about potential RINO-hunting he said why not...
EDIT: Also someone should edit the thread title, since it passed with 65.
