for the first time ever, a military court has overturned the military's sodomy law. (in the military a conviction of sodomy even between a husband and wife carries a five year prison sentence. sodomy = any sex other than missionary style, for those who don't know). civilian courts already struck this law down last year, as some of you may remember, officially making gay sex legal. but the military always seems to be behind (at least lately. they were ahead for black rights, etc.).
the reason i'm so excited about this, however, is that the probably largest reasoning behind "don't ask, don't tell" is now defunct. it' only a matter of time now. and on that very DAY, i'm coming out to EVERYONE. on the ship, at the Y, at the store, EVERYWHERE.
i've got 2 years and 9 months left in. it'll happen in time for me to see it. i know it.
