When you’re in a relationship that’s technically illegal for one of you, some things are worse than others. I mean, stuff happens every day that makes me mad, either for myself or for Captain Awesome. There are days when it’s not so bad. Then there are also days when I wanna go hit John McCain [...]
I’m sure none of you will be surprised to hear that Obama’s lawyers have objected to the worldwide injunction Judge Virginia Phillips tried to issue on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs had this to say about the administration’s dastardly move: “This filing in no way diminishes the president’s firm commitment [...]
I can’t believe it was just last week that I and other military partners were so excited about meeting each other and talking to the Pentagon in a way that made them listen. Hope was overflowing everywhere. I don’t even know why I’m blogging today. I know I need to be urging everyone to take [...]
I am. I’m practically rolling around on the floor, I’m so nervous about today’s vote in the Senate. Just seeing the headline on Yahoo yesterday made a chill go through me: DADT Showdown Looming In Senate. Why do they have to make it sound so ominous? Can’t they just vote now and put me out [...]
An exhibit of DADT-themed photography opened yesterday at the Kaycee Olsen Gallery in Los Angeles. The photographer, Jeff Sheng, has compiled two volumes of photos of queer soldiers.He favors dramatic shadows and a monochrome palette. I wouldn’t hang these up in my house because they depress me, but that’s the point of them I guess. [...]
I’m still in the aftermath of last Thursday’s epic smackdown (alright, it was a pretty civilized meeting) with the Pentagon. I was glad the meeting went well, but “fun” would be the last word I’d use to describe it. What really made Thursday a day I’ll always remember was meeting and connecting with the other [...]
Today is one of those days where you wake up and can’t believe that yesterday actually happened. Military homos, I’m glad to report that the gay military partners’ negotiations with the Pentagon yesterday went as well as could have been expected, under the circumstances. I’m glad to report that it seems like they will be [...]
It’s a big today tomorrow for all us gay military partners: fifteen of us are meeting with the fancy Pentagon people regarding Don’t Ask Don’t Tell to talk about…..what? I don’t know what they think they’re gonna hear from us– “Yeah, I love Don’t Ask Don’t Tell! It saves me so many awkward conversations about [...]
Some comic relief for all you military homos out there. Stay strong. Maybe one day your military will look like this.
Captain Awesome and I are doing well, despite not being allowed to be gay and fighting Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, etcetera etcetera. Honestly, I get bored thinking about it sometimes.That’s what straight privilege is: if you’re straight and you get bored of thinking about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, you can just ignore it till you [...]
