I imagine if my life was destroyed cause I like putting it in a particular spot with my partners. I’ve done what this man did a lot of times with no penalty (other than a partner who was mad that I was too quick the first time I got to). Funny, there’s a huge portion of the porn industry that caters to my taste. wtf. This man has been wronged. Give him a pension. He’s fucking earned that and more for his suffering.

same here and i would be in his same position if don’t ask don’t tell hadn’t become a very publicized thing; instead i’m only scarred 6x over by the shit they’ve done to gay people that the lemmyverse likes to ignore for some reason
We’re still arresting people for this?
i wonder how he feels about having to request a pardon from a president that supported fucking him over more than his sex partner did; i avoided the military and took on permanent-for-life student loan debt (also thanks to biden) because of don’t ask don’t tell and i think i would rather die than ask him for forgiveness.
he voted for don’t ask don’t tell and publicly advocated against gays in any sort of federal and government service since the 70’s
UPDATE: i was thinking defense of marriage act; don’t ask don’t tell was a policy that biden supported but never had the option of voting for.
I’m sorry for what you had to go through, but we’ve advanced a great deal in the last 30 years with regard to social acceptance of homosexuality. Any time you have rapid progress on any issue, you’ll have people whose position changed dramatically in that time period.
Those people should be celebrated. Admitting you’ve been entirely wrong on a social and moral issue is very difficult. By continuing to villify those who change their position to join you in the fight you make it more difficult to gather support.
