Gay service member and ready for the change. There are mornings where I wake up from a dream in which I was able to go to work and not have to worry about co-workers having a free-shot at my career. No matter how many changes I implement for the better, how many people I lead to victory, no matter how much work I take on, I will always be on the verge of the end of my career. How can I stomach signing on for the bonus that everyone else is going to get, knowing that I will have to pay it all back if my ex-boyfriend decides to blackmail me for ending our relationship. Dealing with stress while deployed leaves gay personnel hanging because even though we deal with the same problems everyone else does, we are forced to keep it all inside. The military promotes having a healthy spirit, having integrity but if I have to lie when asked why I don't have a girlfriend then I am against all the military stands for.

My proposal is for a walkout day! One day during the year that everyone who is gay and serving in the military, marches up to the command section and admits what should never have to be admitted, "That we are gay, and it's not a bad thing!" It is time that we take matters into our own hands. There are too many of us to stand by and continue to hold this never ending weight on our shoulders. Work is a place where I should be able to work and not take training that teaches me how to identify and turn in someone who's sexual preference is homo. Having these policies enable gay-bashers to control the inner workings of the military and take away what is rightfully earned by the 14,000 people who have already been booted out.

Get CNN/FOX NEWS to say the walk-out date and I will be there!!!!
