Vote clears way for passage of a bill to end policy, putting the campaign to end the ban on gay men and lesbians close to its conclusion.

The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to overturn the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which bans gays and lesbians from serving openly.

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan says she continues to oppose the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that bans openly gay and lesbian soldiers from military service.

President Obama renewed his vow to allow gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the military, but failed to offer a timetable for doing so.
