On Sept. 20, the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy banning gays from serving openly will be stripped from the military’s rulebook. For gay Marines, official repeal will be a historic day, comparable to the moment 63 years ago when President Truman ordered the services to end racial segregation.
For straight Marines, this will bring changes, too. “That’s gay” — a pervasive phrase used throughout the Corps to express dislike for almost anything — will no longer be tolerated. Equal treatment will be a must. And yes, some gay Marines will bring dates to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball in November.
With the end of “don’t ask” just days away, this week’s cover story includes the stories of several gay Marines who wanted to share their views on repeal and the future of the Marine Corps. Gay Marines interviewed for the story include:
– A corporal in the infantry, based at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
– A major at Quantico, Va.
– An infantry officer and company commander at Pendleton.
– A former enlisted Marine now enrolled at the Naval Academy
– And a field grade officer in California
Hear what they have to say about the end of “don’t ask,” don’t tell” in this week’s edition of Marine Corps Times, on newsstands now.

So much has changed for the better than say in 1975 when a base commander had to be reminded of the Constitution when he tried to order the manager of the PX to remove copies of the famous issue of TIME magazine with Air Force TSgt. Leonard Matlovich in uniform on the cover behind the bold words, “I Am A Homosexual.” I am proud of this country for removing this particular link in the chain of hateful oppression of homosexuals.
Come on Mike admit it you're a homo aren't you?
There's no need to ask you to admit being an asshole...it's on display...
I'll second that....
If you don't like it here you are always free to go somewhere else. Like a bathhouse. Don't wear protection.

The title change is grammar school level immature behavior I expected to see from you. Thus I am not pissed like you want me to be. Deal with it. Injustice may endure but so does the memory and spirit of Leonard's courage and compassion to inspire us to neither run nor surrender.
It's one thing to say that Stone...another to practice the self-emollition that you routinely do. You are the BIGGEST impediment to any success that this site might possibly have.
