SLDN explains where we are on the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell

Kevin Nix from SLDN wrote a post for gay.AMERICAblog.com on the current status of the legislative efforts to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It's good and worth definitely worth a read. I was struck by two key points:

Part of the problem is how DADT is perceived inside the Beltway.

In many way, especially on LGBT issues, it's still 1993 inside the beltway. And:

For legislation to move through both the House and Senate in a timely fashion (the next 6-12 months), the commander in chief must be an active participant in the legislative process.

Repealing DADT is a promise Obama has made many, many, many times. He needs to step up.
