West Point Story

By Joe
A beautiful photo of a West Point cadet escorting his boyfriend to a winter formal is making the blogosphere rounds.
The photo appears on the Facebook page of Knights Out, the West Point alumni support group for LGBT soldiers. The men in the photo were not named by the site.
“This, ladies and gentleman, is progress at an Academy in which we can be proud,” the caption reads. “A member of the Academy’s Spectrum group and his boyfriend at Yearling Winter Weekend last weekend.”
As Towleroad points out, Yearlings are technically sophomores.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
