Measure still faces Senate vote; repeal wouldn't occur until after Pentagon study

WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives voted 234-194 last night to repeal the military's 17-year-old policy that prohibits gay men and lesbians from serving openly in the nation's armed forces.

Hawai'i's Reps. Mazie Hirono, a Democrat, and Charles Djou, a Republican who was sworn in Tuesday, were in favor of ending the policy. Djou was one of only five House Republicans voting for the legislation.
