ASK NOT


Don't ask and don't tell how freaking cute these guys are!!

But, I am getting ahead of myself.
We just watched a very good documentary on PBS's INDEPENDENTLENS : ASK NOT. I am not sure when the film was made, looks to be pre Dan Choi and Victor Fehrenbach. Covers the history , and effects of DADT very well. It was great to see some pre spanked Bill Clinton saying ALL THE RIGHT THINGS. 





The young blond kid from FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO, is in this film . Turns out he is at Harvard Divinity,and still very active in GLBT issues. One of the guys, Jarrod Chlapowski,  spotlighted ( half the couple at the top of this post) is from Atlanta and went to North Georgia. The other is his partner, Alex Nicholson,  .. both are linguist kicked out for being gay. They have started the group SERVICEMEMBERS UNITED. 

Check your local PBS station for a listing for this very well made film. ( and really.. shallow Kyle says watch just to see Alex's khaki's)
