This article is really worth the reading because it really shows how far we have progressed from having homosexuals keeping their sexuality a secret, to now having the army being open with their sexuality and maybe having the first openly gay military service chief.

Obama nominates first openly gay military service chief
Fox News wrote on article on President Barack Obama nominating Eric Fanning to be the nation's first openly gay military service chief. This is a historic moment because the nomination came in good time when Obama administration was working to eliminate the barriers of sexuality or gender in the military service. According to the article, homosexuals weren't allowed to serve the military unless they kept their sexuality a secret, which I think it was pretty cruel to do, until Obamas first term repealed the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. For this very reason, Obama nominated Fanning to lead the army and now it must be confirmed by the Senate, who he would be able to replace John McHugh.
