I just read a great article about an exhibit that shows a history of gays in the military from WWII until now. It is sad that men who have served their country and defended our freedom had to give up part of who they are in order to do so. One man tells that he had two names, two phone numbers, two addresses and two lives just to be able to have a career in the military. This must end. Other countries including our closest ally Great Britain have now allowed gays to serve openly in the military. It is pretty sad that homosexual give up the greatest freedom they have, the right to be who they are to server our country. I think they should get a special award for that sacrifice. You need to read this article. If you can get through it without your eyes tearing up, then you are a stronger person than I am.

And I thought Canada was the USA's closest allie, oh yeah closest trading partner that's right, we foolishly didn't tag along to that foreign adventure known as Iraq!
I didn't realize there were gays in the military that went to that extreme. It is a shame that they had to live a double life that is why the gay liberation movement is so important.
