Gay Vets Celebrate 20 Years of American Legion Post In San Francisco

Thanks to threader tireiron chief for pointing us to some positive news: the 20th anniversary of an American Legion Post in San Francisco composed primarily of GLBT veterans. I remember what Barry Goldwater said when asked why he supports equal rights for gays and thinks the military should stop wasting time and money kicking out good soldiers (and I paraphrase):

Because gay Americans fought and bled and died at Valley Forge and Gettysburg and on D-Day and in Vietnam and Korea.
