My first room mate when I was stationed overseas was gay. He never made a pass at me and he was decorated for his job performace several times. He kept our room spotless and (kinda creepy) he would make my bed if I didn’t. He usually hung out off base, but me and my other buddys “spoke” 😉 with anyone that ever gave him any grief on base.
Federal law restricts openly gay men and women from serving in the Army; in effect, that means that gay men and women who join the military are required to hide their sexuality. And yet photographer Jeff Sheng has had no problem getting them to talk. In fact, his latest photo project, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, came about somewhat organically, after several gay military personnel had contacted him.
