According to TheHill.com, Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) is introducing a measure to “put the brakes on repeal of the military’s ban on openly gay troops.”

I talked to his Washington DC office today, who said the Congressman does not want stop the repeal DADT, only allow military chiefs to sign their approval (as it stands, the repeal only requires the approval of the president, the defense secretary and the Joint Chiefs chairman). 

His El Cajon office, on the other hand, says Hunter is against the repeal, but that they were not aware of the specific legislation the Representative is planning to introduce.

I let both offices know, as a Californian, that I oppose any roadblock to giving gay and lesbian Americans the opportunity to serve their country if they wish, that Americans should have equal rights regardless of the gender of people with whom they seek romantic relationships.

I encourage my fellow Californians to also call in, and since Duncan Hunter sits on the House Armed Services Committee, really, any citizen from any state should feel free to contact him.

DC office - (202) 225-5672 

El Cajon office - (619) 448-5201 

Please voice your objection to institutional homophobia.
