WASHINGTON (AP) — Don’t expect any change soon to the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about gays in the military.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates says both he and President Barack Obama have “a lot on our plates right now.” As Gates puts it, “let’s push that one down the road a little bit.”
The White House has said Obama has begun consulting with Gates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on how to lift the ban. Gates says that dialogue has not really progressed very far at this point in the administration.

I am outraged! I am a heterosexual person who spent 20 years in the military. I served with heterosexuals and gay service members. Never was cohesion, integrity, honor, work performance etc an issue with my gay or lesbian comrades. This is one of the reasons I was so vocal as an Obama supporter. I didn't WAIT to go to the polls or WAIT to urge my friends and family to vote for Obama.
