Brown to vote 'no' on repeal of don't ask, don't tell
Sen. Scott Brown will vote against repealing ``don't ask, don't tell'' when it comes up for a vote Thursday in the Senate Armed Services Committee, dealing a blow to gay rights advocates who were hoping the freshman Republican would support efforts to permit gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, Political Intelligence has learned.
In a 65-31 vote, the US Senate voted on Sunday to repeal ``Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'' the Clinton-era ban on openly gay men and women from serving in the US military.
