While we're glad that there is finally movement on DADT, it is not enough for the servicemembers who have been discharged, are in the process of being discharged, or could be discharged under the legislation. For many servicemembers, this effort is simply a way for Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon to shift responsibility to one another indefinitely.
Our Commander-in-Chief made a promise this year in the State of the Union address to repeal DADT this year -- and we hope that you will lend your voice to calling him and others to make good on that promise. Join Lt. Dan Choi and Cpl. Evelyn Thomas, along with thousands of other GetEQUAL members, to hold the President, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Secretary of Defense, and our LGBT organizations accountable to enact repeal this year and to issue an Executive Order to end military discharges immediately.
