Obama commits to allow Gay people serve in the military

US President Barack Obama has pledged to overturn laws that discriminate against openly homosexual military personnel, and to significantly improve rights for people in same-sex relationships. Barrack Obama reaffirmed an "unwavering" commitment to end discrimination against gay people, including the ban on openly serving in the military.< p>

 

The US could not afford to discharge people from its armed forces with critical skills, Mr Obama told 3000 people at the black-tie Human Rights Campaign dinner.
