So we have to read a book on leadership for one of my classes this semester, and apparently my default setting today on Amazon is all things in the “gay and lesbian” category. Whatevskies, thought it might be interesting, get a book that is more than some asshole spouting off their opinions on leadership and maybe something that has actual value perhaps?
Hmmm except that all books are written by women, about women leaders, and just say things about women. Yes, Amazon, I greatly appreciate you telling me that, as a woman, if I am a leader leading people as leaders tend to do, I am automatically gay and/or lesbian. Awesome.
“So you think whoever owns this wench might willing to part with military information for her return?” Leif asked, his hand firmly on the helm as he kept the thirty-foot riverboat straight upon its course.
Uh….ok…
It made me so nervous I nearly went crazy.

Well fuck. And not literally.

It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one.
Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay.The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America.
As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she’d won.
Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow.
They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished.

Can I just say as a member of the military, it makes me so happy to see things like this?
I’ve found that most people of my age group are basically indifferent to whether you like men or women, its more the old farts that have a problem with same sex couples.
But either way, I’m glad that these women don’t have to hide their relationship anymore. I can’t imagine having to hide mine, and I’d never wish for someone to not be able to openly be themselves.

There are some wonderful things on the internets.
and then again other times you are just like …?
I feel like our timing is always off…
But maybe things will work as well as they have so far..
The things I think about:
Women go to the bathroom in herds to get society used to this. Then, on her wedding day, when a bride takes her maid of honor into the bathroom with her so that she doesn’t pee on her wedding dress, people won’t think it strange. And after she gets married, a woman can’t simply stop taking her girls to the bathroom with her because otherwise people might get suspicious.
And it is generally a good place to gossip about men.
