When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one

In 1975, Tech. Sgt. Leonard Matlovich, USAF winner of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, made the military's ban on gays a national issue when he appeared on the cover of Time magazine. He was arrested at the White House fighting against AIDS and always fought for full LGBT equality.
