Flashback: Jane Lynch, Adam Lambert, Johnny Weir On DADT

PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 23, 2010

With Tuesday's disappointment at Senate Democrats' failure to break a
Republican filibuster on repeal of “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” still stinging,
 we offer a flashback of celebrity views on the subject.

Celebrities talked about the policy that bans gay troops from serving
 openly as they attended this year's Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards.

“I think it should be abolished,” Glee star Jane Lych told iReport blogger 
Chris Morrow. “And it doesn't look like Obama, our fella, is going to do
that right away. He's taking his time.”

“It's passe and old-fashioned” pop singer Adam Lambert said.

Three-time U.S. National Figure Skating champion Johnny Weir said being
gay should be irrelevant to military service.

“I think it doesn't matter what somebody is,” Weir said. “I think it matters
who they are. And that's something that I stand by very firmly. I mean, if
you want to fight in the military, God bless you. We need more heroes in
this world. Whether you're gay or straight it doesn't matter, you're fighting
 for this country.”
