Reported by Jamie McIntyre on CNN. Chuck Larson, former 4-star admiral, is at the top of the list in wanting the repeal. (He has a gay daughter nd think the time has come.) Hopefully, Obama will repeal it immediately.

1. I'd prefer he does this right instead of doing it quickly.

I'm gay, and believe me, I'm the first to hope this odious policy will be repealed. But at the same time, I don't want a repeat of 1993.

But this news is very encouraging.

2. I agree about 1993;

saw that as a disaster for the new administration, affected servicepeople, and the country at large.

TAKE YOUR TIME, Please, Sir.

5. But repealing it would be allowing gay people to serve openly.

I don't see how having it done quickly could cause any problems.

3. Great news. I saw this on CNN earlier too.

4. I would appreciate a link to some written stuff on this, so that I can

post it on another board with a link.

Thanks for this news, I hope to see and hear more about this in the next few days.
