More lesbians discharged from US Military in 2007
The Army and Air Force discharged a disproportionate number of women in 2007 under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibits openly gay people from serving in the military, according to Pentagon statistics gathered by an advocacy group.

I don't know about you, I don't always need to ask, I can usually tell if someone's a lesbian and wtf does it matter? picked by bevissimo 4 months ago

Record company lets military personnel express themselves through music
