(I'm bringing this to the top to bring attention to the semi-quick about face being done by the White House. - promoted by Daimeon)

UPDATE : Due to bloggers and SLDN questioning the WH on why they removed the LGBT rights stuff in the first place, and now the wording surrounding DADT, they have changed the word from "changing" to "repealing."  Good news?  Maybe.  It is yet to be seen or understood why the wording was changed originally or why the White House has yet to clarify what exactly is going on, other than a standard email they've been sending to everyone about "revamping" the site.  According to the SLDN Blog, there should be more on this next week.

    Aubrey Sarvis communicated with the White House last night, like others did, to understand what was going on. He also received the standard e-mailed response about the site being revamped, etc. We should have a more complete understanding of what is going on early next week. Stay tuned.

Seems to me they didn't have a very good understanding of this going into the election, what's going to change early next week?
