“Our troops come from every corner of this country — they are black, white, Latino, Asian and Native American. They are Christian and Hindu, Jewish and Muslim,” Mr. Obama said. “And, yes, we know that some of them are gay. Starting this year, no American will be forbidden from serving the country they love because of who they love.”"
