http://www.365gay.com/living/072808-neff-military/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 http://www.365gay.com/living/072808-neff-military/comment-page-1/#comment-39837 Mac Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:28:34 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=2302#comment-39837 I'd also like to thank you for a wonderfully written and posted article. I am currently a member of the armed services, and I find it quite tragic of how mis-informed our society is of what homosexuality is and how it relates to people in everyday life. One mention of the word spurns cringes fom anyone within earshot, and mostly because of such assumptions as a break-down in unit cohesion. I think that instead of as much as us in the military must train on everyday values as well as stay versed in cultural differences, there should be a course on diversity between heteros and homos. The solution is not to hate and remain ignorant, but to learn and become better educated. If not, we can no longer concider ourselves the world's best and strongest military if we struggle to even unite under such a cmmon bond suchas patriotism.

As an out Gay Veteran I applaud your reasoned argument why now is the time to repeal DADT. Not every member of our community will wish to serve but we must have the right. Until we have this and so many other rights that are taken for granted by Staight Americans, we will never be true citizens of the United States.
