For some of you this may be closer to the heart than for others:

I cannot believe it has taken over half a century to come to the conclusion that gay men can serve their country without falling prey to the prejudice and injustice.

One of the stastics presented in the article is dumbfounding. Over 100,000 men were discharged for being gay from the time of WWII until the early 1990's. Perhaps that is the reason the American military has always been crippled with bad leadership, they kicked out the intelligent ones and kept the fools.

There are no age checks on this forum. If the law says you need (eg) parental consent to post here then you need that consent.
Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
We treat everyone as having good sense and mature judgement.
