"Our Time "marks the end of more than a decade of silence,
giving voice to the LGBT men and women who served under "Don't Ask,
Don't Tell." These individuals enlisted knowing that the military
would ask them to bury an integral part of themselves and yet
joined because of their deep belief that the values of the military
were worth the tremendous sacrifice. "Our Time "shares their
stories for the first time, revealing an intimate portrait of
military life.
Edited by air force officer Josh Seefried, a cofounder of the
LGBT active duty military association OutServe, "Our Time "is a
collection of remarkable depth and diversity. We witness the
abuse--physical and mental--endured at the hands of fellow soldiers
and superiors. We see the hardships faced by their families and
partners and feel the pain of the choice between military and self.
There are also examples of humanity at its very best: leaders with
the courage to support their comrades in the face of tremendous
pressure, friendships forged and minds opened, and love that
endures the very toughest
of odds.
Throughout we are reminded of the bravery and selflessness of
the men and women who chose to serve our country and defend our
liberties while their own freedom was withheld. At once a testament
to the wrongs of the policy and a celebration of the good that
endured in spite of it, "Our Time "marks the start of a new era in
our national history
