Military society subtlety changes as gay ban ends (AP) | Politimo

In this photo taken Sept. 15, 2011, in Chicago, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Victor Fehrenbach stands along the shore of Lake Michgan. Fehrenbach, an F-15E fighter pilot, announced he was gay on national TV in 2009 after the Air Force started discharge proceedings against him. The end to the U.S.'s long-standing ban on openly gay troops serving in the military ends on Tuesday, Sept. 20. Fehrenbach retires after 20 years in the Air Force on the first of October. Fehrenbach's discharge proceedings were interrupted by the repeal, and he was never kicked out. The U.S. joins 29 other nations, including Israel, Canada, Germany and Sweden, that allow gay individuals to serve openly in their militaries. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)AP - Night-long celebrations will mark the final countdown to the historic end of the U.S. military's ban on openly gay troops, and even more partying will take place once it is lifted Tuesday. But in many ways change is already here.
