This just in from the White House Media Affairs office, as part of a press release commenting on different aspects of the National Defense Authorization Act, due for a vote within an hour:



Policy Concerning Homosexuality in the Armed Forces: The Administration supports section 591 as it would allow for completion of the Comprehensive Review, enable the Department of Defense to assess the results of the review, and ensure that the implementation of the repeal is consistent with the standards of military readiness, effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting and retention. Such an approach recognizes the critical need to allow our military and their families the full opportunity to inform and shape the implementation process through a thorough understanding of their concerns, insights and suggestions.
Readers? Is this too little, too late?

It is still giving the military say over rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. There doesn't need to be a consensus on our rights. It is too little and much too late for real and effective repeal of this discriminatory law. I am hoping that the President will be running against another democrat next cycle, cause I've about had it with his luke warm "fierce advocate" on LGBTQQIA issues. Fail Mr. President total fail.
