I am old-fashioned enough to think "what goes on the bedroom should stay in the bedroom." I don't need to know who does what to whom and why, when it isn't relevant to what you are doing. If you are after sex, that's a different matter. Serious subject that is made better by KBG’s breezy writing.

You've got chutzpah (I can finally use that word and mean it). I like the ambiguity because it doesn't matter. You make your point. I love this piece.

It's served its purpose, though, and "full acceptance" should now be the plan of the day. I think the military is ready. It's the young people. They're not so hung up about orientation.

And that’s progress, albeit inadequate progress, because still we allow sexual orientation to define and divide us, and I wonder when we will live in a world in which parents of gays and lesbians do not have to group together for support or offer that support to young people whose own parents have rejected them. I wonder when we will live in a world where mothers and fathers are regarded for their ability to nurture, no matter their sexuality. A world where homosexuals approach the altar just as straight couples, still gnashing their teeth over seating charts and with legal marriage licenses in figurative hand. A world where politicians accept and salute the gays in our military — serving with honor, distinction and dedication — and acknowledge they have the right to do so honestly."
