Podcast: Play in new window
As tempers in our community flare about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (more acronymically known as DADT these days), one West Texas-born soldier wanted to tell me his story about his military service with no issues from fellow or commanding officers about being openly gay. He also believes his story (and others’ stories with a similar experience) will make a difference in the rationale that keeps a policy like DADT on the books. His name is Robaire Watson, and he has a message for the top officials in the military as well as for the Servicemember’s Legal Defense Fund, a watchdog and policy organization dedicated to ending discrimination against and harassment of military personnel.
