I just read the same thing, but as far as I know the Senate and Assembly bills aren't reconciled. I'll keep you posted about whether the signing ceremony we were expecting on Sunday will still be happening.

Many apologies for the misinformation. Things move quickly in the land of the politicos. The information I got in the middle of the week about the signing ceremony on 5th Ave. was outdated by last night. I appreciate that the Governor didn't want us to wait one more day, but I was really excited about being present for the moment.

I was happy for you all, but disappointed for you as well. It would have been great to be present for that historic moment.

Happy Pride day!

In Senator Gillibrand's article she says DADT has been repealed. It has NOT. The White House and the Pentagon must certify the military is ready to repeal DADT. They have only begun training and still have months to go. It is my understanding you can still be discharged under DADT>

Unless my English comprehension is failing me, and it can happen I am not a native North American, in the context of the article she does not say it has been repealed, but rather infers that Congress did the work with DADT (and they did since as you stated it needs certification by the White House and the Pentagon) and it should do the same work with DOMA. I think she is speaking about Congress, being that she is a Senator.

Of course that is my opinion based on reading the article.
