Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Wednesday that he expects the Employment Non-Discrimination Act  to be introduced in the House "any day now" but he remains skeptical about its chances for passage in the 112th Congress.

"We're going to be [introducing the bill] any day now," Frank told the Washington Blade. "We'll introduce it the way it was introduced last year. But that one — there's no real prospects for in this Congress, but we are going reintroduce it."

EDNA WITH OR WITHOUT THE THE "T" ? We need our own reps and senators no somebody who puts the T a the end of LGB.

EDNA WOULD HAVE PASSED HAD NOT BEEN PUT IN THE BACK BURNER SO THAT THE "DO NO ASK DO NOT TELL COULD BE ELIMINATED"

Yeah, what good is repealing DADT if everyone but the military is still allowed to discriminate? When people leave the military they won't have anywhere to go. Plus the obvious fact that they are forgetting everyone who either can't or doesn't want to serve in the first place.
