LGBTQ, indigenous task forces want to ‘light a fire to get things changed’
Rachel S. Cohen
 

Maj. Gen. Leah Lauderback could choose to dwell on the misery she carried through the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” era, when she needed to hide her sexuality to stay in the military. Instead, the Space Force official wants to create a better future for those like her.

“I hid. I evaded questions. I was untruthful at times. … My private life and my relationships were stressed, and there was a lack of support for my family,” the Space Force’s intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance director, told reporters Wednesday. “I now choose to focus on the light.”

Lauderback is a leader of the Air Force’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning Initiative Team (LIT), one of two task forces created in March to update military policies that still pose barriers to minority service members. She came out as gay in 1997 and married her wife in 2014.

In today's military, this is probably considered  more important than developing weapons to counter Russia or China.

Our stupid cultural and political obsessions will result in China and Russia dominating the globe for the next century.

The American political elites are 'at war' with America and the American people.
They have no time and no concern about Russia, China, and Iran.
These days they have blinders on.

Their sole focus is to 'break' American will and American culture.
All those other global issues will just have to wait.

Millions will be slaughtered.

Sometimes there are unintended consequences when you play with fire.
