WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says a new Pentagon report concludes that last year's repeal of the ban on gays serving openly in the military has not affected military morale or readiness.

Panetta is telling reporters that his view is that "the military has kind of moved beyond it." He said the presence of gays in the military has become accepted.
