— N6 (@SignHexa) May 12, 2021 The CIA has released a siar seri of recment ads over the last several months as part of a seri dubbed “Humans of CIA, ” cludg ads featurg an agent who scribed herself as a “cisgenr lennial, ” a man who “[grew] up gay a small Southern town, ” and a bld employee who talks about the agency’s ph to “create a more clive environment.
In rponse, and apparently to monstrate his petency his assigned posn, the nonmissned officer had taken upon himself to approach the person he nsired cled toward mtg a siar offense the future: me, the only openly gay soldier my un.

Mike and Abe were to mentor me on how to survive as a gay serviceman.

A uple were more elaborate: tailed scriptns of what might happen to me if I was ught alone, and proclamatns about the wrongns of gays the ary. There are moments when feels wrong to claim my stat as a veteran; as if beg gay ma me ls of a soldier and somehow validated my service.
