Retired Army Generals and Coast Guard Admiral Come Out

Friday December 12, 2003
The revelation of three retired military officers' homosexuality questions the validity and purpose of the United States military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The ex-officers, two Army generals and one Coast Guard admiral are the highest ranking military leaders to publicly come out.

Cody, it is because of people like you that gay males are 3.5 to nearly 14 times more likely to attempt suicide.
Society’s prejudices take a long time to be diminished – prejudice because of racism, disability, indigenous status and sexual orientation has yet to be fully diminished.
Besides, you’re commenting on the ‘Gay Life’ blog, for crying out loud. Anonymity on the internet may be a blessing for you now, but what if you said that at a gay pride parade? Would you really risk your life defending your opinion about something that should just be left alone?
Being gay is different, not wrong. We haven’t said anything about you, so treat others how you would want to be treated.
