As
Christianity Wanes, Gay Military Magazine To Be Distributed
At Army, Air Force Bases
With the military on the verge of allowing gay men and
lesbians to serve openly, Army and Air Force officials
have approved the distribution of a magazine targeting
gay service members at bases starting next month.
OutServe Magazine will hit store shelves at Army and
Air Force bases on Sept. 20, the day the Pentagon
plans to formally end enforcement of the “don’t
ask, don'tI tell” policy that bans gays from serving
openly. Once the nearly two-decade-old ban ends, gay
men and women serving in military uniform will be able
to reveal their sexual identity without fear of
dismissal or official rebuke, openly gay men and women
will be able to enlist in the military, and gay
couples may be allowed to wed at military chapels or
live together on military bases in states that
recognize same-sex marriages.
