DADT has to wait

According to LGBT leaders DADT will not be in the defense funding bill this year per President Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff. LGBT leaders apparently knew about this as far back as Feb. 2010. So it appears that our troops who fight and die for us are still going to be silenced and still will not have the same rights as heterosexual soldiers. Now this is just plan dumb to me. I understand that the President has a lot on his plate and everything will not get done in the manner that we all want but it seems to me that equality and civil rights would be on the top of that list, right? I could be wrong but I know for me this is getting a bit ridiculous and something needs to be done about this ASAP!
