Obama still hopes to repeal military ban on gays
None
President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that he still hoped to end the ban on gays serving openly in the military, despite big electoral gains by Republicans, many of whom oppose repealing the restrictions.
Many gay voters were disappointed with Obama's failure to overturn the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy and pulled back on financial support for Democrats in the campaign for Tuesday's congressional elections, in which Republicans won control of the House of Representatives. (Reuters)
