Senate approves bill for openly gay troops in military
The Senate passed the measure 250 to 175 as supporters hail a major step for gay rights.

Senator McCain opposes, warning of costs while acknowledging limits on stopping the bill. Pentagon officials say rollout may be incremental by service or unit.
