The Rundown

President Obama plans to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy as one of his first acts in office. This has us thinking about what the military will be like once gays and lesbians can serve openly, but it also has us thinking about what it would be like to be openly gay in other institutions where it's pretty uncommon, like in professional sports. 

Openly gay athletes in American pro-sports are pretty few and far between. Why is that? What do you think would happen if more athletes came out of the closet? Would it affect how you felt about your favorite team or athlete if  he or she were gay? It's our 1 o'clock fight!

Then we'll debrief the Inauguration and last night's Inaugural balls, including who wore what, with a fashion expert and a lady who attended the Midwest Ball at the Convention Center in DC.

Stay tuned!
