A happy Veteran's Day to all veterans. Today I marched in the annual parade here in NYC. It was my third time doing so. I wore my long denim skirt, sneakers, and red sweater. I marched with American Veterans for Equal Rights, a GLBT veterans group. It was the only such group in the parade.
As we marched up the avenue spectators clapped, cheered, and said 'thank you'. Their response to us is very encouraging for me. People were thankful for our service. Who we are didn't matter. It also shows why Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a worthless and destructive law. Many highly skilled men and women are being discharged because of who they are. The military will be the worse for it.
