When Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint of Chiefs of Staff, testify before Congress today, they are expected to announce a series of first steps in the direction of preparing the military for the integration of gays and lesbians.

Basically: if someone else outs you, you won't be dismissed. It's not clear what percentage of Don't Ask, Don't Tell dismissals would be effected by this revision.
