New West Point alumni group pushes for gay rights in military

Knights Out - a group of about 50 West Point graduates - created a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender alumni organization on the military academy's Founders Day.

The advocacy group's goal is to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" and work with the academy to train cadets in diversity issues.

The group includes gay West Point graduates who served in the Vietnam War and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dan Choi, a 2003 West Point alumnus from Orange County, Calif., who helped create Knights Out, said the academy's values on doing the right thing, not lying and fighting injustice were why he wanted to create the group.

"The West Point honor code is not just for straight cadets," said Choi. "It's a conflict at the very core of what the honor code really stands for."

Choi, an Arab linguist and veteran of the Iraq war, said he left the Army in 2008 with an honorable discharge after he fell in love and wanted to stop hiding his sexual preference.

"That's the reason why a lot of us left," he said.

In a recent national survey by the US based Witeck-Combs Communications and Harris Interactive, nearly three-fourths (72 percent) of heterosexual adults say they would not change their feelings toward a ‘favorite’ male professional athlete if the athlete revealed he is gay. This represents an increase from 66 percent in August 2002, when heterosexual adults were asked the same survey question.
In contrast, asked how they think ‘other sports fans would feel’ toward an openly gay sports figure, 72 percent believe that ‘others’ would have less favourable opinions. This measure, however, has decreased from 2002, when nearly 80 percent revealed that they felt ‘others’ would have a less positive opinion.



A survey conducted by Leger Marketing for the second annual day against homophobia, confirms that acceptance of homosexuality in the sports world has a tenuous hold. The poll discovered a less positive outlook, discovering that sixty-one percent thought an openly gay player would not be welcome in a professional hockey team while only 29% thought he would be. Ten percent refused to answer the question.

Gays in the military learning to "embrace the suck" Gays in the military, an extremely masculine environment, not only have to put up with possible jeering from their heterosexual peers, but also must learn to speak another language. That's in addition to having to learn any foreign language that they must acquire in preparation toward entering and serving in a foreign country. In short, military gays are learning to "embrace the suck."



"Embracing the suck" simply means, "Face it, soldier. I've been there. This ain't easy. Now let's deal with it," says Austin Bay, retired U.S. Army reservist who has published a book on military lingo called, Embracing the Suck: A pocket guide to Military Speak.
