The Air Force Academy class of 2015 is the first to come through four years at the academy with the open acceptance of gays and lesbians in the ranks.
Tricia Heller, a 1987 graduate, and Tara Sweeney, a '95 grad, attended the ceremony to support Lydia Hill of Boston.
Heller and Sweeney helped found Spectrum, the Air Force Academy gay and lesbian support group, of which Hill was one of the first members.
"We all served under 'don't ask, don't tell,' so it was important for all of us to be able to be open about who we are," said Heller, a board member of the Blue Alliance, a support group for cadets. "For us, it's been awesome to watch cadets like Lydia be able to serve openly."

I do to an extent, but unless they do something to me personally and the act is “out of my sight”, I do not care much, to be honest gays really just need to keep it to themselves and their own people, if they did that and quit pushing this crap to others most folks would not mind them, it just all about forced acceptance and it does not work that way.
Well, there’s been a few complaints by homosexual servicemembers about being raped.
I’m ashamed of the Air Force. Now the Gay Force.
Never mind, we are toast.

My dad who was Navy UDT during WWII said that the happiest two people in the Navy were Patrick Fitzjohn and John Fitzpatrick. :-)
Wow, you really don’t understand the homosexual agenda one bit, do you?!
The chair force. Have drone will bomb.
“Definitely not the USAF I was in back in 1966!”
When I joined in 1970, a Section 8 undesirable discharge was the way to get rid of homosexuals (if a blanket party didn’t do the job). Unmarried & pregnant also got a Sec 8.
El Cid Campeador, we belong to an earlier time.

I don't accept them. If they'd stayed in the closet, no problem. I just think they have some serious problems. Their being their is PC: not about what is best for the nation. How long until polygamists are welcomed?
Ew!
No, thank you. I will never celebrate perversion.
Most conservatives I know aren’t interested in policing the sexual mores of others. If they kept it to themselves, it would be between them and God. Not my business, and glad of it.
But that isn’t at all what is happening.
They are MAKING it my business.
I saw a thread today on this, court martial proceedings against men on a sub who took video of female sailors in a shower.
What the HELL did they think was going to happen????
“be able to be open about who we are.”
No, you stupid idiot. Nobody F’ing cares what you do in your closet.
Why do these people fell so compelled to make known to us what kind of sex they practice.
Why do they feel the need to change us?
Maybe they are just being used by others for the useful idiots they are.
The elites want to destroy humanity.......make no mistake!
I should say I am not sticking up for the men taking and sharing the video.
I am angry as hell about THEIR GOVERNMENT putting them in a position to even make that possible.
I can 100% agree with you, no arguments from me, I think these folks need to take what an old man said to me once, “sometimes its better to stay off the radar, than to be detected”.
For myself, I treat people as people, regardless of their sex, race, color, or religion.
If they don’t bring it into my sphere, be it religious, social, or work, I treat them with respect and it simply isn’t an issue. Note that this approach DOES include muslims. To me, it is their business, and unless they make it an issue with me by doing things like sticking up for terrorists, pushing for sharia law, trying to kill non-muslims, etc., I am inclined to take them at face value. And that is fine with me.
But once people begin to push something like homosexuality into an area that affects me directly, it is no longer a personal peccadillo, it becomes a public issue.
I deeply resent the homosexual agenda that seeks to make it a “civil rights” issue, and anyone who cares about civil rights should be offended as well. People have no control over their sex or the color of their skin.
But contrary to their efforts to make people believe that there is a genetic component to homosexuality (their Holy Grail)people DO have a choice. Which normally is their business, but when they make it mine by pushing to normalize what is clearly aberrant behavior, indoctrinate children with it, and make speaking out against it a “hate crime”, it DOES become my business.
There is a RAINBOW DIVISION that served with honor in WWI and WWII.
Then imagine a whole political movement whose primary enemy is a religious group that has strong beliefs that that one act is repulsive an reprehensible, coming to your “aid” because you can be used to criminalize said religious group.
