Happy Memorial Day
While
you are at the beach, a BBQ or just relaxing during this Memorial Day,
remember that this day isn't just the traditional beginning of Summer,
it's a day to honor all of the brave men and women who have died while
in the Armed Services.
These
vintage photos represent just a small fragment of our LGBT history in
the military; unfortunately so much of it has purposely been destroyed.
Since the military men in these photos are unknown, it's pretty much
impossible to tell if they were gay couples or just "good friends." Most
photographs of gay couples were eventually destroyed by horrified
family members. For every photo that I may have mistakenly identified as
gay, thousands more were burned or torn into pieces to keep a family
secret.

You Can't Legislate Love
If
you think the next four years are going to be difficult, just image
what it was like for those who came before you. They got through it and
so will we. Stand up and protect you're rights!
