Hate Groups Back Pawlenty On DADT

"I think he's showing that he is more willing to listen to the voices of combat personnel and leaders than the current administration -- and certainly more so than are the members of Congress, who recklessly rushed to repeal a law that enjoyed such widespread support among the military." - Elaine Donnelly of the Center For Military Readiness, responding to former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty's pledge to reinstate DADT should he become president.

Numerous other anti-gay groups have praised Pawlenty's promise to defend DOMA and reinstate DADT.
