The policy banned lbians, gay men and bisexuals om servg the ary.
It terrified her to e out as gay such a public way, but she felt a rponsibily to do , she said. As difficult as was for her, g out publicly as gay “may not have been as easy for someone who was at a lower rank, ” Smh said an terview last week.

I, for one, appld "Army Wiv" for workg gay spo/signifint others to the plot. As time go on, more and more gay service members will e out of the closet. This also means that more gay spo and signifint others will be officially jog our ranks.
Maybe I am givg the show too much cred, but may be able to help make the transn for gay ary spo easier. And perhaps makg MilSpoe viewers aware of the unique issu facg gay ary spo will help foster unrstandg and acceptance wh the muny -- potentially makg the post-DADT transn easier, at least for spo. What do you thk about the prence of gay ary upl on Army Wiv?
