Ask, Tell, Exhibit: Gays in the Military

As you’re probably aware, June is Gay Pride Month. To show our gay pride, we’re having Gay Week over at Boinkology: from Monday to Friday, it’s all gay posts, all the gay time.

In spite of its history of rampant homophobia, the American military has always had its fair share of queers who — for whatever reason — sign up and serve (on the rampant homophobia tip: when “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” is viewed as an improvement, you know there’s a problem).

Out in San Francisco, the GLBT Historical Society is examining the relationship between gays and the military with a new exhibit, “Out Ranks.” If you’re in San Francisco, I recommend checking it out — if (like me!) you’re not, Newsday has an article on the exhibit (not quite just like being there, but still a good read).
