House Democrats renewed their push Tuesday to overturn the ban on gays and lesbian soldiers serving openly in the U.S. military, introducing legislation repealing the controversial "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

The House previously passed a repeal of the ban as part of a larger defense spending authorization bill, but the measure stalled last week in the Senate.

It is set to come to a vote on Wednesday, according to a senior House Democratic aide.

"The time to repeal 'don't ask, don't tell' has come," said Rep. Patrick Murphy, the Pennsylvania Democrat responsible for formally introducing the measure. "I'm proud to stand with the secretary of Defense, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the majority of service members and the American public who all support repeal of this discriminatory policy that harms our national security and military readiness."

1. Good! But the vote won't be any different until the damn tax bill is done and voted on.

UNFORTUNATELY!
