OutServe and Knights Out supports a Defense Bill with or without the DADT Repeal

Interesting turn of events. 2 strong gay rights military groups release a statement about the defense bill moving forward with or without the repeal of DADT.

From Politico

“On behalf of the more than 1,000 active duty gay and lesbian service members and 500 gay and lesbian veterans we represent, we respectfully urge Congress to pass the FY 2011 National Defense Authorization Act to fund the aircraft, weapons, combat vehicles, ammunition and promised pay-raises for all troops, whether or not the repeal of don't ask, don't tell is included,” the statement will say. “To be clear, we will continue to fight for our integrity as gay and lesbian service members and we hope that legislative action in Congress can be taken in 2010 to lift the ban.”
