ASKING AND TELLING IN PHILLY

The Human Rights Campaign and Servicemembers United will kick off their national Voices of Honor Tour to build support for the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in Philadelphia July 27. U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.), who recently took over the repeal effort, will be joined by the numerous LGBT and ally servicemembers featured on the tour during an 11 a.m. press conference in front of Independence Hall at Fifth and Market streets, and the servicemembers will host a public town-hall meeting to discuss “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” at 7 p.m. at the WHYY Studio Building, 150 N. Sixth St. Several of the servicemembers will be involved in presentations in Boonton and Trenton, N.J., later in the week.
