Hawaii Adds One More Republican Vote for 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal
ELECTION OF CHARLES DJOU INCREASES REPUBLICAN MARGIN FOR LGBT CORE ISSUES SUCH AS A REPEAL OF 'DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL' AND EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT
(Washington, DC) - After the historic election of Congressman-Elect Charles Djou in Honolulu on Saturday, Log Cabin Republicans National Board Chairman Terry W. Hamilton issued the following statement:
"Log Cabin Republicans is proud to have endorsed the candidacy of Charles Djou for Congress. His commitment to repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell', supporting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, increased HIV/AIDS research initiatives and equality in domestic partnership benefits on the federal level show that a common-sense Republican can truly win the day, even in President Obama's home."
Charles Djou, a young Chinese-American from Hawaii, serves as a Captain in the Army Reserves and is a staunch opponent of the failed 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, which prohibits gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. Djou fought for government transparency in Hawaii, supports market-based healthcare reform and tort reform, and has never voted for a tax increase. ###
Log Cabin Republicans promotes legislation to provide basic fairness for gay and lesbian Americans and works to build a more inclusive GOP. The 30-year old organization has state and local chapters nationwide, a full-time office in Washington, DC, a federal political action committee and state political action committees.
