US Senate lifts 'don't ask, don't tell' gay soldier ban

Activists have urged President Obama to deliver on the repeal of 'don't ask, don't tell'.
The US Senate has approved landmark legislation allowing openly gay people to serve in the military.

Senators voted 65-31 to overturn the 1993 "don't ask, don't tell" law, which bars gay people in the military from revealing their sexual orientation.
