Update: “We are not a nation that says don’t ask don’t tell. We’re a nation that says out of many we are one.” Well done, Mr. President. DADT has been officially repealed, but your not off the hook. There’s much more work to be done.

President Obama will be signing the DADT repeal bill on Wednesday morning from the Department of Interior. The signing will take place during a 9:15 AM ceremony. Lt Dan Choi was invited to attend and left Obama with this message:

“President Obama, you are not off the hook. The compromise bill passed today puts the moral imperative squarely on your desk. Sign an executive order instituting a full non-discrimination policy throughout the military. If you do not, if you drag your feet and politicize this with your theoretical calculations as you have these past two years, you will be guilty of abetting those who loudly proclaim homophobia from their platforms and pulpits. Provide them no shelter or safe haven. Institute justice now.”
