We passed the bill to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" last year. The nation's top military leaders supported it. President Obama signed it. But now, fuming at their loss, House Republicans are using anti-gay amendments to delay the repeal and undermine gay families.

House Speaker John Boehner can put a stop to these hostile amendments – but we need to show him there's a real political cost to reversing the course set by Congress and the American people. And we've only got so much time before Congress moves forward on this legislation.
