US Military & Social Networking

Following the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell a facebook style social networking site for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual service members called 'Out Military' the author of the website  John McKinnon  said that anyone that does join up at the moment would be best not to use their full names.

In other news, a US Navy captain has been temporarily relieved of his duties after homophobic videos that he created to be viewed by crew members have been leaked.  These sketches are said to include lesbian shower scenes, anti gay insults and simulated masturbation.

A veteran and executive director of of the service members legal defence network, called on the navy to investigate the video's.

It has also come out that actress Glenn Close appeared in one of these videos, Glenn unwittingly appeared near the end of the video holding a stuffed parrot during a montage to Peter Cetera's 'Glory of Love,' just after a close shot of condoms and lube.

In respose to this she issued this statement "I am distraught that my image has been used to perpetuate something that I abhor. The cynical, unauthorized use of my image in this video is deeply offensive and insulting, and was the result of a seemingly innocent request of me during a visit to the aircraft carrier over four years ago."
