USAFA Graduates First Open Homosexuals

An ABCNews article noted the US Air Force Academy recently graduated its “first openly gay cadets,” though it might have misspoken when it did so:

The LGBT students couldn’t be picked out of the crowd of white and blue. But gay and lesbian advocates, academy alums, school officials and current students said they were there…

[Trish] Heller said her group had connected with at least four members of the class of 2012 receiving diplomas today who had come out publicly as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.  There were likely others, but they preferred to keep a  low-profile, she said.

Oops. Unlike their homosexual peers, “transgendered” persons are banned from military service, so if there really were LGBT graduates, and members of the cadet wing who came out as “transgender” received their diplomas, then they did so in violation of military policies.
