Good luck, guy. Seriously.
This gentleman puts the lie to any concerns that gay folks can't serve with honor. I really hope he wins and gets his pension.
Gay Man, Citing Supreme Court Ruling, Fights '97 Army DischargeBy THE NEW YORK TIMES
… Mr. Loomis was discharged just one week shy of the 20-year career mark that would have entitled him to full retirement benefits after his home was burned and a firefighter found a videotape of him engaging in sex with other men.
The Army discharged Mr. Loomis, who was wounded in the Vietnam War, in which he won two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart, under "other than honorable" conditions, a move that deprived him of pension and benefits that he says are worth more than $1 million.
