Rep. Bill Owens supports President’s move to end ban on open gays in military

In an interview with NCPR today, Rep. Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) was unambiguous:

Owens, who represents Fort Drum, says he campaigned on that position last year and has been convinced by military leaders that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly is appropriate.
