BMT: An LGB Perspective
Erin’s Note: As a blogger, I write from my perspective, which is that as a heterosexual, predominantly white, married, older, skeptical, educated female. I can only share about BMT as it is seen through my eyes, and I recognize that others experience BMT differently. With the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT), trainees who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) may serve openly. This post has been months in the making, and I’m excited to share with you an interview that I did with a member of my brother flight who is openly gay. My hope is that those of you who identify as LGB find encouragement in this post, as all trainees share the ultimate common goal of becoming Airmen.
One night after lights out we were all chilling out, just having casual convo and then the questions came [up] again about my sexuality, and I just decided to free myself; I let them know about my life, who I and what I am. [It was] one of the best times of my life; they made me feel at home, very accepted.

I am so excited and proud that you did this interview! It's a perspective that we don't hear about too often, but there are lots of LGB people in the military. I hope we hear more from LGB military members in the future. Thanks to that Airmen for sharing his story!
