Virginia Beachâs Ret. Petty Officer First Class Larry Bush is now living as Laura Rae Bush after the 44-year-old Navy veteran, who served for 24 years, began to live life as a woman. She revealed her gender struggle to peers at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 392 â which promptly requested that she dress as a man at future functions.
For what itâs worth, the VFW doesnât have an official dress code, but the postâs Commander Joseph Brady says he can make the demand since heâs in charge, which means forcing Bush to dress in pants, not skirts, to attend post events. Though âno one had questions for Bush during the meeting when he made the announcement, nor raised concerns, some members approached the post commander later. They found the news and the way in which Bush chose to present it jarring.â
Bush is married with kids and has filed paperwork for a legal name change.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

We accept you, but please be like everyone else.

I think she looked great, except for the eye make-up, girl needs to practice more.
I wish her well!
And thanks for serving Laura đ
Andy has a point, how contradictory of that other vet.

She has quite soft features, but as has been said the eye make up needs to gooooo. It’s not grounds for discrimination though (tounge firmly in cheek) and since there’s no official dress code the decision to make her wear pants is solely based on the bigotry of her commanding officer. I think she has a real case, goodluck to her!
Jon (not that other one)
This story is similar to my Father. A proud Army officer who served in 2 wars & struggled with gender identity. . .I don’t see my trans dad and his gay kid bellying up to the bar at the VFW hall anytime soon. . .
Oh. ..wait. . .We did that. . .must be a West Coast thing.

@Andy: Remember..It’s only gay if you’re on the bottom…on second thought…it is always pretty gay.
