I couldn't help but notice, as I walked around the Gay Pride Festival yesterday, the number of military support organizations that had booths there. There were groups for spouses and families as well as groups for the troops themselves. How wonderful that the DADT repeal is not enacted yet and there are already so many support groups ready to serve our openly gay and lesbian troops and their families. I cannot wait until next year's price festival, when presumably there will be booths for military recruiters from all branches of the military. What a wonderful day that will be! We have all worked so hard to remove our government's prejudice against us and this is a massive step towards achieving that goal.
There was also a new booth from AARP, supporting seniors from our community. This was nice to see as well. Just last week AARP launched a new sub-website geared towards the GLBT communities gracefully aging baby boomers. It is good to see them addressing the unique legal, financial, and personal issues our community faces as we age. My hope is that by the time Michael and I are old enough to retire there will no longer be unique issues our community faces.
