There isn't a more wonderful way to celebrate the repeal of DADT than having a soldier (cute one at that!) come out to his father LIVE on camera! This is a MOVING video. It brings me back to when I was 17 years old (not that long ago, haha!) and told my father in the living room of our house. Just saying the words "Dad, I'm gay" broke me into tears. And then to hear my father say "I love you and I always will no matter what or who you are, it's now time to be your authentic self." Those words meant the WORLD to me. Seeing how much it meant to this soldier and that his father kept saying that he loves him no matter what is wonderful. Homosexuality is normal, remember that.
Here's the news article that broke this story: http://www.aol.com/2011/09/20/soldier-comes-out-to-father-on-youtube_n_971994.html
And here's news on a march that occurred to celebrate the repeal: http://westhollywood.patch.com/articles/dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal-ceberated-with-march-and-rally#photo-7850846
See...things DO get better!
Only Love,
