To celebrate the full repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Congressman Jim Himes (CT-4) will hold a rally with LGBT constituents, organizations, and allies on Saturday, September 24. At the event, they will highlight the important progress this occasion marks and discuss the work remaining to ensure members of the LGBT community are treated fairly under the law, with all the dignity and respect they deserve.
