The U.S. passed a repeal of its ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ policy back in 2010 - but a recent court decision has temporarily reinstated it -- but not quite like it was before. Here’s KDFW.
 
"The military's ‘don't ask, don't tell’ policy is temporarily back in place. The Obama administration asked a federal court of appeals to reinstated. The court agreed after it reviewed the plans to repeal the law later this year. The court made one stipulation. The military cannot investigate, penalize, or discharge anyone who is openly gay."
CNN explains - the administration had some concern over the timeline for the policy’s repeal.

"The military should not be required to suddenly and immediately restructure a major personnel policy that has been in place for years, particularly during a time when the nation is involved in combat operations overseas, said the government in an earlier legal brief…”
 
A writer for conservative site Hot Air says -- for Obama, this is a lose-lose story.

"Obama’s political team would undoubtedly have preferred to have the court decline to revisit its earlier ruling in order to escape the need to be the President who reinstated DADT, even for a short period of time.  This ruling gives Obama the worst of both worlds; he has to take a political hit for defending DADT in the short run, while this ruling ends up giving the military no authority to exercise the policy anyway.”

But an Army Captain writes in The New York Times -- Obama’s administration is on the right track.

“...we are moving in a matter of months from a reality where it is not unusual to hear a general speak contemptuously or disparagingly about homosexuals to a reality where everyone is expected to behave as though their entire military experience up to that point was a dream. ...The staying power of military culture should not be underestimated.”
