I’m assuming many gay & lesbian service man & woman make the case that GLBT folks are just like anybody else. What about queers on the fringe of the spectrum? Do you find discrimination is directed towards GLBT that are just “different” from the norm in the military? Also, did you find camaraderie with other GLBT folks in the military before DADT was repealed? Were people comfortable enough to build friendship/partnerships between each other, even though they had to be in the closet?
Randy, first of all, thank you SO much for your service to our country.
My question: the Republican candidates for President have all talked about reinstating DADT. Do you think there’s any chance of that happening? Do you think the branches of the military are all comfortable with gay and lesbians serving openly and will, in fact, resist any attempts to reinstate this odious policy?
It seems like youhad a lot of positive reaction to your coming out on the web. Was there any negative side or bad reaction/pots that made you regreat coming out on youtube?
Ask Randy if he plans on getting better knifes for his cooking videos. It looks like he is cutting his food with a letter opener. =)
Randy,
Has coming out changed the way other men in the military treat you?
Done taping- thanks!
