What happened
Barack Obama "has been weathering a small storm lately in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community for declining interviews with gay and lesbian news media. But the criticism could soften after he granted an interview to The Advocate and discussed his views on many gay issues, including the military's policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'' for gay members of the armed forces. "I reasonably can see "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" eliminated,'' Obama told the magazine, although he added that he wouldn't make the issue "a litmus test'' for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
