• 08:40 I'll be tweeting a media briefing conference call about #DADT and the new Pentagon regulations in about 20 minutes. #
• 08:45 The #DADT media briefing conference call is being held by the Palm Center: bit.ly/de5HV8 #
• 09:00 On today's #DADT conference call: Dr. Nathaniel Frank, Rear Admiral Alan Steinman, M.P.H., M.D and Diane Mazur, J.D. #
• 09:07 Dr. Frank says repeal of #DADT will need to be an act of Congress (not the President). #
• 09:10 New changes suggest 3rd parties must now accuse people of homosexual conduct under oath - that makes it credible? #DADT #
• 09:11 Rear Admiral Alan Steinman thinks changes will significantly reduces discharges under #DADT. #
• 09:12 Only a flag officer can initiate a #DADT investigation now, and only a flag officer can initiate a discharge under #DADT. #
• 09:14 What's next for #DADT? Pentagon is evaluating HOW (not when) to implement a repeal of #DADT. #
• 09:15 Pentagon's study on HOW to repeal #DADT is due December 1. Some criticize the length of the study as unnecessary. #
• 09:19 The kind of 3rd party outings we see with the SD police outing a lesbian military person will be barred. #DADT #
• 09:21 Changes to #DADT won't mean 0 discharges, but it will mean we'll see a lot less of them. #
• 09:22 The reality: there are lots of known gays serving and it's not a problem. #DADT #
• 09:23 Knowledge of openly gay colleagues is not a problem. It's known that #DADT is enforced out of personal motivation. #
• 09:26 What exactly is credible evidence? Former partners who vindictively out a former lover is not credible. #DADT #
• 09:29 Letters home to a same-sex partner (when you're away at war, for example) won't be used as evidence anymore. #DADT #
• 09:32 What about public displays of affection? A uniform code of behavior for everyone addresses this concern. #DADT #
• 09:34 A repeal of #DADT means: All rules & regulations that apply to straight service members will apply to gays and lesbians. #
• 09:36 The #DADT conference call has ended. #
• 09:38 All the tweets about today's #DADT conference call can be found here: bit.ly/dbIPcm #
• 09:40 @moneymakermj I don't think they recorded the call, but I'm sure they'll release a summary of the call shortly. #
• 10:10 @randomtwitts You're welcome. I'm glad I didn't miss the email announcing the call. I would've been so disappointed. #
• 10:41 @dccc Your scare tactic style emails are annoying and won't ever convince me to send you money. Stop that. #fail #
• 11:24 @GALA_Magazine Thanks for the #FF shoutout. That's an impressive group you've added me to! Love @PerryBrass! #
• 11:27 Do you think the Pope believes in Hell? I mean, really. The man helped cover up a child sex abuse scandal. #
• 11:28 @SecondCityStyle That assumes that only men like sports. #fail #
• 13:09 Barney Frank: 'Progress has been good' for LGBT equality - bit.ly/ctiPYC #
• 15:45 @renwl Sorry to hear about your blog's final day. What are your plans moving forward? #
• 20:40 Oh.my.gawd. Great show with @londonbridgez tonight. *fanning myself!* bit.ly/cNWHcK #
