It isn't just on the Democratic agenda. It is on the Log Cabin republicans, coast to coast, agenda too:

Issue: Gays in the Military

Excerpt: The United States military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy must be changed. This blatant discrimination damages our military readiness and weakens national defense./excerpt

So, ANY LCR endorsed republican will be supporting to change the current "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) policy".
