I hope that the brave souls pictured above are alive and well to see this day.  I cannot express how much admiration I have for them to have stood up like they did in public in 1965 demanding equal rights as members of the gay community and allies.  And although I am anti-military in a general sense, I am pro-equal rights, so congratulations to everyone in the regard that we are one step closer to equality. “foreign armies don’t exclude homosexuals:  why should ours?”“homosexuals died for their country too” @Pentagon protest, July 31, 1965.by Kay Tobin Lahusin
