"Gay leaders offered only a lukewarm reception Wednesday night for President Obama's statement, in his State of the Union address, that he would work for the repeal of the military’s discriminatory policy against gays.
"...Kevin Cathcart, executive director of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, issued a statement saying 'We have heard promises before about ending Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' While Cathcart said Lambda was happy to hear President Obama's remark, he added that 'the time has finally come to fulfill that promise.'"
