DADT Repeal

The Pentagon held its briefing earlier today on the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The signs are encouraging that repeal will become effective some time this year. Unsurprisingly, NPR was reporting this afternoon that there will be no changes to housing or benefits for LGBT military personnel because of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits the federal government (including the military) from legally recognizing same-sex relationships.
