Don't Fret! DADT is still on the NDAA Table


All day, folks have been talking about the fear of DADT being removed from the National Defense Authorization Act. Well, Metro Weekly has a hopeful spin on that info:

In the past 24 hours, several media outlets have reported on the possibility of a version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) moving forward in the Senate with the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal provision stripped from it – discussions the leadership at the Human Rights Campaign struck back at today as "background noise" that does not have the support of Democratic leaders in the Senate.

[UPDATE @ 7:25 PM: Dan Pfeiffer, White House communications director, said in a statement on Monday evening, "The White House opposes any effort to strip 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' from the National Defense Authorization Act."]

Good news! I hope this stand.

I still worry when you have fucktards like Boehner and McCain soon to be in control.
