It’s not everyday that something I’ve supported and promoted comes to fruition. I’m pleased to announce that Jeff Sheng’s Photo Essay on Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is now a book. And yes, I’m shamelessly promoting it.

Jeff has captured the pain, the shame. the difficulty and the bravery of women and men serving in our armed forces while holding the secret of their sexuality- and he’s done it with each photo he’s taken.

Every subject is in uniform, in a bedroom, face hidden and beautifully representative of the suffering endured under this policy. There are also emails and commentary from service members, detailing the day-to-day experience of these men and women.

Have a look. http://www.jeffsheng.com I think it’s important to support Jeff in his efforts to put a human face on this policy by not showing faces. Get a copy for the LGBT Community Center, get a copy for your local library, get a copy for your local ROTC recruiter. Just get a copy and help end the suffering. www.DADTbook.com

I bought two.
