This is an extremely short diary but the topic is so important that I think it needs a diary.
Apparently the Pentagon, gay advocates, and Congress are talking this morning on a possible deal on DADT!

This is HUGE if DADT repeal can be worked out with the Pentagon, gay activists, and Congressional members.
THE WHITEBOARDTALK UNDER WAY: Congressional leaders, gay rights advocates and Pentagon officials are meeting at the White House Monday morning to discuss an emerging deal on repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on gays in the military, sources say.
I have no idea what the deal will entail but I suspect that something will be worked out so that Congress gets a vote on repealing DADT this year possibly even attaching it to Defense must pass legislation this year in which DADT will be repealed but its implementation of repeal will be on the time table set by the Pentagon.
