It’s about time I no longer have to worry about losing my career because I happen to be gay. I never understood how being gay had anything to do with my serving my country and being proud to wear my uniform everyday. No one can imagine what a relief it is to have DADT repealed after serving my country for the past 30 years(in Feb 2012) in silence and worry about the loss of my career.

Still serving proudly 30 years and will continue to serve as long as I can…..:)

I would like to come back to my message dated yesterday (Oct. 24th)to add the following : And what’s more for a Country about the honesty of his serving peoples to state they are gays. I think that the trust can only be stronger, and US Goverment can only receive a benefit by recognize the fact no other than a higher quality work from their courageous serving peolpes because their mind is free from this stupid law that was the DA-DT.
I also have a though for all serving peoples who stopped serving because of it : perhaps Armies lost value peoples.
Once again, all my congratulations to you all.
Yours truely.
Jean-Jacques.

I am a 61yo Navy vet. I am so proud of you all!!! being in the closet is no fun. I wrote a piece, i will share: Enjoy

The Real Fool

You’re never a fool when you share your heart.
Because, you see, I can’t be a part.
If you never open the door and let me in.

In today’s world, we are told to guard our hearts and to never expose ourselves,
To live a lie and never be real.

We cover ourselves in clothing of deceit and parade ourselves as something we are not.
It’s a world of jokers, clowns and court jesters,
Who act on the stage of life as to mockery,
Who pretend what they are not.

When the show is over, they go back to their dressing rooms, remove the costumes and makeup, to expose themselves to the Mirror that sees all.
They see that they are miserable, yet have fooled themselves for so long, that they can never be themselves.

To expose themselves to the world and allow their hearts to be open and the freedom to be real.

God Bless the USA

This isn’t about rubbing anything in anyone’s faces, this is about getting the sexuality problem out of the way. You act like only homosexuals rub their sexuality in everyone’s face. In the 5 years I served on board my ship, not one day went by that some guy didn’t hit on me or try and get in my pants. Not one day went by that I wasn’t able to contribute into a conversation while people talked about their wives or husbands, I had to change girlfriend to boyfriend, and then get hit on more. Homosexuals are not the ones rubbing their sexuality everywhere, it’s everyone. To act like it’s not all over the military is ignorant. People talk about sex all the time. We’re not even asking to talk about sex, we’re just asking to be able to serve our country and focus on the mission, reguardless of who we fall in love with. You’re ignorant, and one day it will catch up with you.
