U.S. President Barack Obama signed the Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010 on December 22, 2010, paving the way for gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military.
Obama signed the bill before a cheering crowd that included top military officials and politicians at the Department of the Interior in Washington, D.C.
The new legislation will not go into effect for at least 60 days.
