The United States Army, for the first time is admitting openly gay and lesbian candidates into its ranks, in line with a court ruling that suspended a ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military.
On Friday, instructions were e-mailed to recruiters saying that they must inform applicants that there was a suspension of the "don't ask don't tell" policy, The New York Times reported.
This move follows from a decision, earlier this month, when a federal court judge moved against the US military practice of barring openly gay people from joining the armed forces by halting the 'don't ask, don't tell policy'.
The 17-year-old policy "infringes the fundamental rights of United States service members and prospective service members," wrote Judge Virginia A Phillips of Federal District Court for the Central District of California
