Repeal could come by end of the month

1. And from HuffPo

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he sees no roadblocks to repeal of the ban on gay military members serving openly.

He says if the military chiefs make their recommendation to move forward on the repeal before the end of the month, he will sign it, which would make it effective as early as September.
