Conservatives who were worried that the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell would lead to debaucherous gay military orgies are in for a surprise! The only effect it’s had is that more pictures like this exist, thereby forcing jaded and sex-crazed idiots like me (who wouldn’t mind participating in a debaucherous military orgy) to say “aww” and feel warm and fuzzy inside.
This shot of US Navy sailor Jonathan Newell and his boyfriend Sean Sutton was brought to our attention by Unicorn Booty. Apparently, they had been apart for seven months before this reunion… Could you imagine?!?! Seven months without your boyfriend? While there are certainly worse things in the world, you’ve got to smile that these two are back together (and doing whatever they tend to do with one another again).

Having served in the Navy, it makes me so happy to see these photos. Nevertheless, at the same time, I can’t help but wonder if being openly gay in the military will be a career ender for a lot of these guys. Mark my words, LGBT military personnel are going to have to work twice as hard to get half the recognition — it happened when the armed forced integrated and it happened when women were allowed to join. We will be no different. (Switcheroo).
i’m gonna avoid any political statements, and just revel in this fuzzy warm awwwww for a while 🙂

This is brilliant. Period. (byeberlin)
While this is awesome, there is still A LOT of homophopia in the military. I have a friend in the army and his drill sergeant made an announcement that if any of his guys were gay he would beat the shit out of them. AWFUL. (duramax24)

I suppose you’re right, in the short term at least. But when you consider the difficulty many LGBT youth have in paying for college — especially the youth whose parents essentially disown them when they come out — military culture might come around quickly… The old and stodgy have to retire eventually, right?
