Washington (CNN) -- The Pentagon has taken the first steps
toward repealing the military's controversial "don't ask, don't tell"
policy regarding gay and lesbian service members, Defense Secretary
Robert Gates said Tuesday.
Laying the groundwork for a repeal of
the policy will take more than a year, Gates said. In the interim,
however, the Defense Department will start enforcing the policy "in a
fairer manner," he told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
President Obama called for a repeal of the policy during last week's State of the Union address.
