Magazine for Gay Soldiers
A magazine designed for and by gay military ers may soon be displayed at military installations worldwide, an advocacy group announced Monday. “Our first objective with the magazine is to let all the gay, lesbian, bi, and trans members currently serving know that they are not alone,” an active-duty officer who goes by the pseudonym JD Smith said in a statement. Smith, along with co-director Ty Walrod lead the organization known as OutServe, the group describes themselves as an underground network of actively serving military members of the United States Armed Services who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. www.BigGayNews.com
