Evan Bayh: “I think it is important with regard to Volcker and some of these other things that you look at what was said.”

I believe is discriminatory. Times have changed since then and it seems to me we should respond to those changes, changes in the attitude of our people, the acceptance of gay and lesbian people in the workplace.

It's time now to allow men and women to serve their country and to do so without having to conceal their sexual orientation.

We should not discriminate against them. We should honor that service, honor that patriotism, the way we do the service and patriotism of any American who is willing to put on the uniform of this country.

Our national security has not been harmed by the integration of the Armed Forces.
