New gay military magazine from OutServe headed for US base newsstands

A MAGAZINE catered to gay and lesbian soldiers is expected to hit the shelves at military exchange stores starting on September 20, the same day the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy goes into effect.
OutServe - a group of secretly gay, actively-serving soldiers - launched the magazine in the spring and has already produced two editions, FOXNews.com said. The group said its September issue will be available for free at select US Army and Air Force bases.
According to the group's website, OutServe Magazine is a publication that "highlights the contributions that actively serving LGBTs are making to the United States military, discusses and educates readers about DADT repeal policies, and advocates for the continued fight for equality for all Americans."
The new September edition will feature a photo spread of nearly 100 people who are members of OutServe. It will presumably be the first time these individuals have made their sexual orientation known among the military ranks.
"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," OutServe's co-director, an active-duty officer who goes by the pseudonym JD Smith, said in a written release. "And we also want to communicate to all troops that there are capable gay military members serving honourably, and that accepting that and moving on will make our military stronger."
Lt. Col. Tom Shrader, a spokesman for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, did not know which bases will carry the first print editions of the magazine.
