Gay Veteran Seeks New Military Codes

This here's the video of Alva pleading with Congress to change its queer course.

Thank you for posting this. I don't tune into C-SPAN much, but seeing raw video of congress can be quite compelling.

Alva is a real, live hero. Our gay "leaders" should hang their collective heads in shame.
